When the Children of Israel left Egypt, manna fell every day except the Sabbath. Not hard to count from a hard and fast starting point.
Backtrack to Exodus 12:2 Establishes Abib (now Nisan) as the First month of The Hebrew calendar. It had been established as the month of the first harvest. I don’t know at this point how it was calculated, nor how long this had been in existence. The death angel visited on the 14th and passed over the firstborn when he saw the blood. When were they travelling? The next day and thereon. No manna yet.

jjotto,When the manna fell is a great study in light of how the Father tells time..
Scripture hints it was the 16th Day of the 2nd month when manna from heaven started- and the Father’s calendar confirms it.
Notably, it was also a ‘16th’ Day,the 16th Day of the 1st month(3rd Day from Passover aka Feast of First Fruits), when the Lamb rose from the grave to be First Fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
30 days apart- two 16th Days- both dealing with bread from heaven - manna for Physical Israel and The Bread of Life for Spiritual Israel.
It’s a picture that happenes each and every one of His months. Not just the 1st and 2nd months.
The 16th Day in every month on His calendar starts His 3rd week of work on His prophetic timekeeping-and that too is amazing.
It’s amazing because the 1st 3 weeks in every one of the Father’s months commemorate distinct works:
Week 1- Creation (Father)
Week 2- Redemption (Son)
Week 3- Convincing the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. (Holy Spirit)
Each week of work ends on the 6th and final work Day:
Father- 7th Day (Genesis 2 if translators haven’t messed)
Son- 14th Day (Passover)
Holy Spirit- 21st Day
And when work week ends, the 7th Day Sabbath begins:
Father- 8th
Son- 15th Day (1st day of Unleavened Bread)
Holy Spirit- 22nd Day (the ‘8th’ Day- see the Father- see the 22nd Day of the 7th month)
That is a pattern that people of faith would be blessed to see.
They can’t right now because they call today Thor’s Day..
A side note about the manna in the wilderness:
It was after 30 days in the wilderness that He fed them the manna.
The True Bread of Heaven uses 30 in a parable.
All for His Glory!
