Exodus 16:18
And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
KJV
Et mensi sunt ad mensuram gomor : nec qui plus collegerat, habuit amplius : nec qui minus paraverat, reperit minus : sed singuli juxta id quod edere poterant, congregaverunt.
Vulgate
καὶ μετρήσαντες τῷ γόμορ, οὐκ ἐπλεόνασεν ὁ τὸ πολύ, καὶ ὁ τὸ ἔλαττον οὐκ ἠλαττόνησεν· ἕκαστος εἰς τοὺς καθήκοντας παρ’ ἑαυτῷ συνέλεξαν.
LXX
And when they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
