What does Exodus 16:29 mean?

'Remember, the Lord has given you the Sabbath. That’s why he gives you two days’ worth of food on the sixth day. Everyone should stay where they are on the seventh day and not go out.' Exodus 16:29 - Modern Text Bible

(God explains the reason for the double portion: so everyone can rest and not worry about gathering food on the Sabbath.)
