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.

¹⁵ And when the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, What is it? for they had no idea what it was. And Moses said to them, It is the bread which the Lord has given you for your food.

⁶ But now our soul is wasted away; there is nothing at all: we have nothing but this manna before our eyes.

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.

³ As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, so is my loved one among the sons. I took my rest under his shade with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
