And when the dew had gone up, there was on the face of the wilderness a fine, flake-like thing, fine as frost on the ground.
Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance like that of bdellium. The people went about and gathered it and ground it in handmills or beat it in mortars and boiled it in pots and made cakes of it. And the taste of it was like the taste of cakes baked with oil. When the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell with it.
They asked, and he brought quail, and gave them bread from heaven in abundance.
and he rained down on them manna to eat and gave them the grain of heaven.
You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger and brought water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and you told them to go in to possess the land that you had sworn to give them.
And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
He gives snow like wool; he scatters frost like ashes.
Now the house of Israel called its name manna. It was like coriander seed, white, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
