The first morning that God gave the children of Israel bread, they did not know what it was.  

It was something they had never seen before.  

It was like a coriander seed, which is 3/16 of an inch in diameter (3-5 mm).  

It was the color of white as the color of bdelium.  

Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary defines bdellium as "a gum or resin, a precious stone, or a pearl".  

Therefore it was round (3/16 of an inch in diameter) like a pearl, sticky and white.  When they saw it, they said "What is it?".  

They called the bread, manna.  The Hebrew word, manna, means "What is it?".  

1. The bread that God rained down from heaven was a small  thing.

(Exodus 16:14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.)

2. The bread that God rained down from heaven was as small as the hoar  on the ground.

(Exodus 16:31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.)

to question 4.

5. The bread that God rained down from heaven was as the color of  .

(Numbers 11:7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.

to question 5.

6. When the people saw the bread that God rained down from heaven they called it  which in the Hebrew language means, "What is it?".  

(Exodus 16:15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.)

to question 6.

Note: I took the following picture, which I staged with white beads (3/16 of an inch in diameter) upon the dew in grass. This picture gives you an idea of what manna would look like.

When the manna would fall it would be very deep as in this picture. [ Lesson 1 ]      [ Manna Page ]      [ Lesson 3 ]     [ Home Page ]
