Exodus 16:31-32

Context

16:31 The house of Israel 1  called its name “manna.” 2  It was like coriander seed and was white, and it tasted 3  like wafers with honey.

16:32 Moses said, “This is what 4  the Lord has commanded: ‘Fill an omer with it to be kept 5  for generations to come, 6  so that they may see 7  the food I fed you in the desert when I brought you out from the land of Egypt.’”
