The food from heaven the children of Israel ate in their wilderness journey, a type of Christ in His humiliation down here, just as the “old corn of the land” is a picture of Christ on high, in the heavenly land. The paschal lamb thus typifies Christ as the Saviour, the old corn of the land is Christ in heavenly glory, and the manna Christ in His humiliation. Observe, it is only the last that was loathed as light food.
