Exegesis
The paired result clauses velo hibʾîsh {וְלֹא הִבְאִישׁ | və-lō hibʾîš} ‘and it did not become foul’ and verimmah lohayetah bo {וְרִמָּה לֹא־הָיְתָה בּוֹ | və-rimmāh lō-hāyəṯāh bō} ‘and no maggot was in it’ are coordinated to underscore the miraculous preservation. English uses “and”/“nor” for the Hebrew vav coordination and retains kaasher’s comparative nuance with “as,” emphasizing the link between the command and the outcome.
In context — Exodus 16:24
So they set it aside until the morning, according to what Moses commanded, and it did not become foul , nor was there any worm in it.
