A New Kind of Food

The Isaelites are picking up manna off the ground? It is like frost. It is white, and it is thin and flaky. But it's not frost, It's something to eat.

It has only been about a month since the Israelites left Egypt. They are in the wilderness. Little food grows her, and so the people complain, saying:  'We wish that Jehovah had killed us in Egypt. At least there we had all the food that we wanted.'

So Jehovah says: 'I am going to cause food to rain down from the sky.' And this is what Jehovah does.  The next morning when the Israelites  see this white stuff that has fallen, they ask one another: 'What is it?' 

Moses says:  'This is the food that Jehovah has given you to eat.'  The people call it manna. It tastes like thin bread with honey.
