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

⁶ But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna!^(A)”

⁷ The manna was like coriander seed^(B) and looked like resin.^{(C) 8} The people went around gathering it,^(D) and then ground it in a hand mill or crushed it in a mortar.

Moses said to them, “It is the bread^(B) the Lord has given you to eat.
