§ 26 Their second Preparation for the receiving of the Law, was the giving of Manna unto them from Heaven. Being come into the Wilderness of Sin, between Elim and Sinai, called so from a City in Egypt that it extended unto, in the midst of the second month after their departure from Egypt, the stores they brought with them from thence being spent and exhausted, the whole Congregation murmured for food. As still their wants and murmurings lay at the bottom, and were the occasion of those reliefs, whereby the spiritual mercies of the Church by Christ were typed out. In this condition God sends them Manna, Exod. 16.14, 15. In the morning the dew lay round about the host. And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost of the ground. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is Manna; for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat, ver. 31. And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna, and it was like Coriander seed, white, and the taste of it like wafers made with honey.
