The Israelites Receive Manna
20 Instead of these things you gave your people food of angels,
and without their toil you supplied them from heaven with bread ready to eat,

21 For your sustenance manifested your sweetness toward your children;
and the bread, ministering[a] to the desire of the one who took it,
was changed to suit everyone’s liking.
