the dew.
Num. 11:7‑9• 7And the manna was as coriander seed, and the color thereof as the color of bdellium.
 8And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
 9And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it. (Num. 11:7‑9)
;
Deut. 8:3• 3And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live. (Deut. 8:3)
;
Neh. 9:15• 15And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them. (Neh. 9:15)
;
Psa. 78:24• 24And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. (Psa. 78:24)
;
Psa. 105:40• 40The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. (Psa. 105:40)
the hoar frost.
Psa. 147:16• 16He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. (Psa. 147:16)
• True rest is by Christ, the bread come down from heaven, and this comes first, before conflict, though man could not really enjoy it by that bread alone, that is, Christ incarnate, without death and redemption coming in. Unless we eat the flesh and drink the blood, there is no life to taste and enjoy the bread. (“Exodus 16-17” by J.N. Darby)
• The manna then, it is clear, is a type of Christ—of Christ as He was in this world—as the One who came down from heaven, and who as such becomes the food of His people while passing through the wilderness. (“The Manna: Exodus 16” by E. Dennett)
• There is a difference between the children of Israel and believers of this dispensation. The former could only be in one place at a time, for we have here an actual historical narrative. The latter—Christians—are in two: their place is in the heavenlies in Christ (see Eph. 2); and in their actual circumstances they are pilgrims in the wilderness. As being in the heavenlies, a glorified Christ—typified by the old corn of the land—is our sustenance; but in wilderness circumstances it is what Christ was here, Christ as the manna, that meets our need. And amid the weariness and the toil of our pilgrim path, how blessed and how sustaining it is to feed upon the grace, the tenderness, and the sympathy of a humbled Christ. How our hearts rejoice to remember that He has passed through the same circumstances; that He therefore knows our needs, and delights to minister to them for our sustainment and blessing. It is for such a purpose that the writer of the epistle to the Hebrews says, “Consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds” (Heb. 12:3). (“The Manna: Exodus 16” by E. Dennett)
• For instance, something may make me impatient during the day; well, then, Christ is my patience, and thus He is the manna to sustain me in patience. He is the source of grace, not merely the example which I am to copy. (“Christ as Our Food: Joshua 5” by J.N. Darby)
