| Shmot 20:11 11. For [in] six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it. | ||
According to Rashi, Shabbat was sanctified through the miracle of the Maan. Why is it so special that a double portion of maan was given for Shabbat? It was not really double because one was for Friday and one was for Shabbat. What was it about the double portion that proved that Shabbat is so special?
He answers is that on all the other days, if any Mann was left over, by the next day it would become wormy, but on Friday the maan that was left over for the next day for Shabbat was perfectly good. This proved that Shabbat was a very special holy day.
