MANNA
(
1
, 3131), the supernaturally provided food for Israel during their
wilderness journey (for details see Exod. 16 and Num. 11). The Hebrew equivalent is
given in Exod. 16:15,
RV
marg., “
$!
” The translations are,
RV
, “what is it?”;
KJV
and
RV
marg., “it is manna.” It is described in Ps. 78:24, 25 as “the corn of heaven” and
“the bread of the mighty,”
RV
text and
KJV
marg. (“angels’ food,”
KJV
text), and in 1 Cor.
10:3, as “spiritual meat.” The vessel a pointed to contain it as a perpetual memorial, was
of gold, Heb. 9:4, with Exod. 16:33. The Lord speaks of it as being typical of Himself,
the true Bread from Heaven, imparting eternal life and sustenance to those who by faith
partake spiritually of Him, John 6:31-35. The “hidden manna” is promised as one of the
rewards of the overcomer, Rev. 2:17; it is thus suggestive of the moral excellence of
Christ in His life on earth, hid from the eyes of men, by whom He was “despised and
rejected”; the path of the overcomer is a reflex of His life. None of the natural substances
called “manna” is to be identified with that which God provided for Israel.¶
