Exegesis
The phrase omer la-gulgolet {עֹמֶר לַגֻּלְגֹּלֶת | ʿō-mer lag-gul-gō-leṯ} ‘one omer per head’ specifies the unit measure per person, further refined by the construct mispar nafshotekhem {מִסְפַּר נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶם | mis-pār nap-šō-ṯê-kem} ‘the number of your persons.’
In context — Exodus 16:16
The LORD has issued this decree : Every man shall gather from it according to his eating; one omer per head, determined by the number of your persons; each man shall take for those in his tent.
