| 1 | Strong's Number: g3131 | Greek: manna |
Manna:
the supernaturally provided food for Israel during their wilderness journey (for details see Exod. 16 and Num. 11). The Hebrew equivalent is given in Exd 16:15, RV marg., "man hu." The translations are, RV, "what is it?;" AV and RV marg., "it is manna." It is described in Psa 78:24, 25 as "the corn of heaven" and "the bread of the mighty," RV text and AV marg. ("angels' food," AV text), and in 1Cr 10:3, as "spiritual meat." The vessel appointed to contain it as a perpetual memorial, was of gold, Hbr 9:4, with Exd 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, Jhn 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.
