Difference between revisions of "Manna"

<div> '''1: '''''Μάννα''''' ''' (Strong'S #3131 — Noun Neuter — manna — man'-nah ) </div> <p> the supernaturally provided food for Israel during their wilderness journey (for details see &nbsp;Exodus 16 and &nbsp; Numbers 11 ). The [[Hebrew]] equivalent is given in &nbsp;Exodus 16:15 , RV marg., "man hu." The translations are, RV, "what is it?;" AV and RV marg., "it is manna." It is described in &nbsp;Psalm 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 &nbsp; 1 Corinthians 10:3 , as "spiritual meat." The vessel appointed to contain it as a perpetual memorial, was of gold, &nbsp;Hebrews 9:4 , with &nbsp;Exodus 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, &nbsp;John 6:31-35 . The "hidden manna" is promised as one of the rewards of the overcomer, &nbsp;Revelation 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. </p>
