“And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.”
And the people worked all that day, all night, and all the next day, gathering the quail; the least anyone gathered was ten homers; and they spread them out all around the camp — the people's labor to gather the quail extends continuously: all day, all night, and all the next day. Each person gathers at minimum ten homers (a homer is about 90 pounds of grain equivalent; perhaps 10-12 bushels of quail). The quail are 'spread out' to dry/cure, covering the entire camp area. The provision is physically overwhelming.
