From this occasional interrogation, did the food provided for them take its name of Man, called in the New Testament Manna; such occasional imposition of names to persons and things being at all times frequent and usual: as in the Chapter fore-going the place was called Marah, from the bitterness of the water, that they cried out of, upon their first tasting it. And in the next Massah and Meribah, ⟨p. 269⟩from their temptations and provocations. That which alone we have to observe concerning this dispensation of God towards them, is, that they had this eminent renewed pledge of the Bread of Life, the food of their souls, the Lord Christ, given unto them, before they were entrusted with the Law, which by making their only glory, and betaking themselves unto, without the healing Tree and heavenly Manna, is become their snare and ruin. See Joh. 6.31, 32, 48, 49, 51. Rev. 2.17.
