Numbers11:8

8 And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the tast of it was as the tast of fresh oyl .

Or, of the most excellent oyl; or, of the flour of orl: or, as others, of cakes or past made with the best oyl, the word cakes being easily supplied out of the foregoing member of the verse: or, which is not much differing, like wasers made with honey, as it is said Exod. 16. 31. The nature and use of Manna is here thus particularly described to shew the greatness of their sin in despising such excellent food, as this was.
