Matthew Poole and continuators on Numbers 11:7

7 And the manna was as coriander-seed , and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium .

Not for colour, for that is black, but for shape and figure.

Which is either 1. the gum of a tree, of a white and bright colour, or rather 2. a gem or precious stone, as the Hebrew doctours take it, and particularly a pea[illegible: 1+ letters]l, as some render it, wherewith the Manna doth manifestly agree both in its colour, which is white, Exod. 16. 14. and in its figure which is round. See more on Gen. 2. 12.

Marginal references: Exod. 16. 14, 31.; Heb. eye of it as the eye of.
