1. A substance miraculously furnished as food for the Israelites in their journey through the wilderness of Arabia. Exodus 16:4-36. NWAD MANNA.2

Josephus, Ant. B. 3.1. considers the Hebrew word man, to signify what. In conformity with this idea, the seventy translate the passage, Exodus 16:15. what is this? which rendering seems to accord with the following words, for they knew not what it was. And in the Encyclopedia, the translators are charged with making Moses fall into a plain contradiction. Art. Manna. But Christ and his apostles confirm the common version: “Not as your fathers ate manna, and are dead.” John 6:58; Hebrews 9:4. And we have other evidence, that the present version is correct; for in the same chapter, Moses directed Aaron to “take a pot and put a homer full of manna therein.” Now it would be strange language to say, put an homer full of what, or what is it. So also verse Exodus 16:35. “The children of Israel ate manna forty years, etc.” In both verses, the Hebrew word is the same as in verse Exodus 16:15. NWAD MANNA.3
