Kabbalah zu Schemot 16:18
וַיָּמֹ֣דּוּ בָעֹ֔מֶר וְלֹ֤א הֶעְדִּיף֙ הַמַּרְבֶּ֔ה וְהַמַּמְעִ֖יט לֹ֣א הֶחְסִ֑יר אִ֥ישׁ לְפִֽי־אָכְל֖וֹ לָקָֽטוּ׃
Aber als sie nachher mit dem‘ Omer maßen, da hatte nicht mehr, der viel gesammelt, und der nicht weniger, der minder gesammelt; sie hatten gesammelt jeder soviel er essen konnte.
Zohar
Rebbe Yitzchak said, "they had gathered as much as they needed to eat" (Shmot 16:18). For the one who eats less, gathered less, and the one who eats more, gathered more. Yet it is written, "the one who had gathered much had no excess, and the one who had gathered little had no deficiency." Rather, according to what they ate, they gathered. It says, "their eating", that which they would actually eat, which is why it doesn't say, "their food".
