17-25 And Moshe said eat it today for today is shabbos to Hashem.
The people left their extra portion over on shabbos then Moshe tells them eat it. Why wouldn't they eat it? Why does he have to tell them to eat it.
Ramban says that the first reaction of people when they saw there was no mon on Shabbos was to fear that the mon had stopped. Therefore they wanted to hold onto what they had. Moshe is telling them that they must express their trust in Hashem by eating what hashem had given them. If they held on to it they would be doubting Him.
