³¹ The people of Israel called the bread manna.^[a](A) It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.

⁷ The manna was like coriander seed^(A) and looked like resin.^{(B) 8} The people went around gathering it,^(C) and then ground it in a hand mill or crushed it in a mortar. They cooked it in a pot or made it into loaves. And it tasted like something made with olive oil. ⁹ When the dew^(D) settled on the camp at night, the manna also came down.

³ He humbled^(A) you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna,^(B) which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach^(C) you that man does not live on bread^(D) alone but on every word that comes from the mouth^(E) of the Lord.^(F)

¹⁶ He gave you manna^(A) to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never known,^(B) to humble and test^(C) you so that in the end it might go well with you.
