Manna

Wilderness bread from heaven: daily dependence and later a signpost for Christ as true bread.

Scripture

Exodus 16:31

31 The house of Israel called its name Manna, and it was like coriander seed, white; and its taste was like wafers with honey.

Numbers 11:7-8

7 The manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance like the appearance of bdellium.

8 The people went around, gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it. Its taste was like the taste of fresh oil.

John 6:31

31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, 'He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.'"
