¹⁴ And when the dew was gone, on the face of the earth was a small round thing, like small drops of ice on the earth.

⁷ Now the manna was like a seed of grain, like small clear drops.

⁸ The people went about taking it up from the earth, crushing it between stones or hammering it to powder, and boiling it in pots, and they made cakes of it: its taste was like the taste of cakes cooked with oil.

⁹ When the dew came down on the tents at night, the manna came down with it.

⁴⁰ At the people's request he sent birds, and gave them the bread of heaven for food.

¹⁵ And you gave them bread from heaven when they were in need, and made water come out of the rock for their drink, and gave them orders to go in and take for their heritage the land which your hand had been lifted up to give them.

²⁴ And he sent down manna like rain for their food, and gave them the grain of heaven.

³¹ And this bread was named manna by Israel: it was white, like a grain seed, and its taste was like cakes made with honey.

³ And he made low your pride and let you be without food and gave you manna for your food, a thing new to you, which your fathers never saw; so that he might make it clear to you that bread is not man's only need, but his life is in every word which comes out of the mouth of the Lord.

¹⁶ He gives snow like wool; he sends out ice-drops like dust.
