Hebdomadal
Hebdomadal means taking place, coming together, or published once every seven days; weekly: hebdomadal meetings; hebdomadal groups; hebdomadal journals.
Manna was gathered by the Israelites six days a week with a double portion available on a hebdomodal basis.
"On the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather daily." (Exodus 16:5, NASB)
The double portion was so that the Israelites would not need to seek food on the Sabbath.
This oil on canvas, "Gathering of Manna", was painted by Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665). It hangs in the Louvre Museum.
