Exodus 16:31-33
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

31 The house of Israel named this food manna.(A) It was like coriander seed,[a] white, and it tasted like wafers made with honey.

32 Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded. Keep a full omer of it for your future generations, so that they may see the food I gave you to eat in the wilderness when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.” 33 Moses then told Aaron, “Take a jar[b] and put a full omer of manna in it. Then place it before the Lord to keep it for your future generations.”

Footnotes

  1. 16:31 Coriander seed: small, round, aromatic seeds of bright brown color; the comparison, therefore, refers merely to the size and shape, not to the taste or color of the manna.
  2. 16:33 Jar: according to the Greek translation, which is followed in Hb 9:4, this was a golden vessel.
