Matthew Poole and continuators on Exodus 16:15

15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, it is Manna : for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

Or, what is this? which best suits with the following reason, for they wis[illegible: 1+ letters] not what it was. Man signifies what in the Egyptian Tongue; and it is not strange that the Israelites use one of their words being newly come out of their Land. Hence this is called Manna, but it is of a different nature from the ordinary Manna which now we use onely as physick for purging, whereas this Manna was food and nourishing, being prepared by the great God for this use.

Marginal references: Or, what is this, or it is a portion.; [illegible: 1+ letters]oh. 6. 31. 1 Cor. 10. 3.
