Exodus 16:13-14
quail <07958> [the quails.]
The Hebrew {selav,} Chaldee {selaiv,} Syriac and Arabic {selwa,} is without doubt the quail: so the LXX. render it [ortygom‚tre,] a large kind of quail. Josephus, [ortyx,] Ethopic, {ferferat,} and Vulgate, {coturnices,} quails, with which agree Philo and the Rabbins. The quail is a bird of the gallinaceous kind, somewhat less than a pigeon, but larger than a sparrow. Hasselquist describes the quail of the larger kind as very much resembling the red partridge, but not larger than the turtle dove; found in Judea as well as in the deserts of Arabia Petra‘ and Egypt; and affording a most agreeable and delicate dish.

grain ... heaven <08064 01715> [the corn of heaven.]
The manna fell about their camp in the form of seeds; and as it appeared to come down from the clouds, it was not improperly termed {degan shamayim,} the corn of heaven or heavenly grain. See notes on Ex 16:22, 31.
Man <0376> [Man, etc.]
Or, Every one did eat the bread of the mighty. {Lechem abbeerim,} "bread of the mighty:"--they ate such food as could only be expected at the tables of the rich and great;--the best, the most delicate food. Or, it might be so called because it rendered the people healthy and vigorous, and fit for their marches.
