Responsa zu Schemot 16:25
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר מֹשֶׁה֙ אִכְלֻ֣הוּ הַיּ֔וֹם כִּֽי־שַׁבָּ֥ת הַיּ֖וֹם לַיהוָ֑ה הַיּ֕וֹם לֹ֥א תִמְצָאֻ֖הוּ בַּשָּׂדֶֽה׃
Mose sprach: Esset es heute, denn Schabbat ist heute dem Herrn; heute werdet ihr es nicht finden auf dem Felde.
Shut min haShamayim
They responded: "Let me enlighten you and show you the way," (Psalms 32:8) for this matter can be learned from the Torah of our teacher Moses. For it is written (Exodus 16:25) "Eat it today, for today is a sabbath of God; you will not find it today on the plain." Just as the days are separated from each other1i.e, the three mentions of the word 'today' in the verse, so too do the times of the three meals need to be separated from each other.
