Rashi on Exodus 16:33/רש"י על שמות ט״ז:ל״ג

אצנצנת. צְלוֹחִית שֶׁל חֶרֶס, כְּתַרְגּוּמוֹ:
1צנצנת is an earthern flask, as it is translated in the Targum (cf. Mekhilta).
בוהנח אותו לפני ה'. לִפְנֵי הָאָרוֹן; וְלֹא נֶאֱמַר מִקְרָא זֶה עַד שֶׁנִּבְנָה אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד, אֶלָּא שֶׁנִּכְתַּב כָּאן בְּפָרָשַׁת הַמָּן:
2‘והנח אתו לפני ה AND LAY IT UP BEFORE THE LORD — before the Ark; this verse, of course, was not spoken until the tent of meeting had been built and the Ark was placed therein, but it is written here in the chapter about the Manna, as being its appropriate place.
