Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Did eat manna forty years - This does not necessarily imply that the Israelites were fed exclusively on manna, or that the supply was continuous during forty years: but that whenever it might be needed, owing to the total or partial failure of other food, it was given until they entered the promised land. They had numerous flocks and herds, which were not slaughtered (see Num 11:22), but which gave them milk, cheese and of course a limited supply of flesh: nor is there any reason to suppose that during a considerable part of that time they may not have cultivated some spots of fertile ground in the wilderness. We may assume, as in most cases of miracle, that the supernatural supply was commensurate with their actual necessity. The manna was not withheld in fact until the Israelites had passed the Jordan. |

manna
Manna, type of Christ as the "bread of life," come down from heaven to die "for the life of the world." (Joh 6:35); (Joh 6:48-51). A "small" thing (Exo 16:14) having but the taste of "fresh oil." (Num 11:8) or "wafers with honey" (Exo 16:31); it typifies Christ in humiliation as presented in Matthew, Mark, and Luke; "having no form nor comeliness; . . . no beauty that we should desire him" (Isa 53:2). But as such He must be received by faith if we would be saved (Joh 6:53-58). To meditate upon Christ as He went about among men, doing not His own will but the will of the Father (Joh 6:38-40) is to feed on the manna. This is, of necessity, the spiritual food of young believers, and answers to "milk" (Co1 3:1); (Co1 3:2).
But Christ in glory, and the believer's present and eternal association with Him there, answers to "the old corn of the land" (Jos 5:11) the "meat" of (Heb 5:13); (Heb 5:14) or Christ as presented in the Epistles of Paul.

| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| The children of Israel did eat manna forty years - From this verse it has been supposed that the book of Exodus was not written till after the miracle of the manna had ceased. But these words might have been added by Ezra, who under the direction of the Divine Spirit collected and digested the different inspired books, adding such supplementary, explanatory, and connecting sentences, as were deemed proper to complete and arrange the whole of the sacred canon. For previously to his time, according to the universal testimony of the Jews, all the books of the Old Testament were found in an unconnected and dispersed state. |
22 Shall the flocks [06629] and the herds [01241] be slain [07819] for them, to suffice [04672] them? or shall all the fish [01709] of the sea [03220] be gathered together [0622] for them, to suffice [04672] them?
16 Wherefore [5620] henceforth [575] [3568] know [1492] we [2249] no man [3762] after [2596] the flesh [4561]: yea [1161], though [1499] we have known [1097] Christ [5547] after [2596] the flesh [4561], yet [235] now [3568] henceforth [3765] know we [1097] him no more [3765].
14 But [1161] strong [4731] meat [5160] belongeth to them that are [2076] of full age [5046], even those who by reason [1223] of use [1838] have [2192] their senses [145] exercised [1128] to [4314] discern [1253] both [5037] good [2570] and [2532] evil [2556].
13 For [1063] every one [3956] that useth [3348] milk [1051] is unskilful [552] in the word [3056] of righteousness [1343]: for [1063] he is [2076] a babe [3516].
11 And they did eat [0398] of the old corn [05669] of the land [0776] on the morrow [04283] after the passover [06453], unleavened cakes [04682], and parched [07033] corn in the selfsame [06106] day [03117].
2 I have fed [4222] you [5209] with milk [1051], and [2532] not [3756] with meat [1033]: for [1063] hitherto [3768] ye were [1410] not [3768] able [1410] to bear it, neither [235] [3777] yet [2089] now [3568] are ye able [1410].
1 And [2532] I [1473], brethren [80], could [1410] not [3756] speak [2980] unto you [5213] as [5613] unto spiritual [4152], but [235] as [5613] unto carnal [4559], even as [5613] unto babes [3516] in [1722] Christ [5547].
38 For [3754] I came down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772], not [3756] to [2443] do [4160] mine own [1699] will [2307], but [235] the will [2307] of him that sent [3992] me [3165].
39 And [1161] this [5124] is [2076] the Father's [3962] will [2307] which [3588] hath sent [3992] me [3165], that [2443] of all [3956] which [3739] he hath given [1325] me [3427] I should lose [622] nothing [3361] [1537] [846], but [235] should raise [450] it [846] up again [450] at [1722] the last [2078] day [2250].
40 And [1161] this [5124] is [2076] the will [2307] of him that sent [3992] me [3165], that [2443] every one [3956] which [3588] seeth [2334] the Son [5207], and [2532] believeth [4100] on [1519] him [846], may have [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222]: and [2532] I [1473] will raise [450] him [846] up [450] at the last [2078] day [2250].
53 Then [3767] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], Except [3362] ye eat [5315] the flesh [4561] of the Son [5207] of man [444], and [2532] drink [4095] his [846] blood [129], ye have [2192] no [3756] life [2222] in [1722] you [1438].
54 Whoso eateth [5176] my [3450] flesh [4561], and [2532] drinketh [4095] my [3450] blood [129], hath [2192] eternal [166] life [2222]; and [2532] I [1473] will raise [450] him [846] up [450] at the last [2078] day [2250].
55 For [1063] my [3450] flesh [4561] is [2076] meat [1035] indeed [230], and [2532] my [3450] blood [129] is [2076] drink [4213] indeed [230].
56 He that eateth [5176] my [3450] flesh [4561], and [2532] drinketh [4095] my [3450] blood [129], dwelleth [3306] in [1722] me [1698], and I [2504] in [1722] him [846].
57 As [2531] the living [2198] Father [3962] hath sent [649] me [3165], and I [2504] live [2198] by [1223] the Father [3962]: so [2532] he that eateth [5176] me [3165], even he [2548] shall live [2198] by [1223] me [1691].
58 This [3778] is [2076] that bread [740] which [3588] came down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772]: not [3756] as [2531] your [5216] fathers [3962] did eat [5315] manna [3131], and [2532] are dead [599]: he that eateth [5176] of this [5126] bread [740] shall live [2198] for [1519] ever [165].
2 For he shall grow up [05927] before [06440] him as a tender plant [03126], and as a root [08328] out of a dry [06723] ground [0776]: he hath no form [08389] nor comeliness [01926]; and when we shall see [07200] him, there is no beauty [04758] that we should desire [02530] him.
31 And the house [01004] of Israel [03478] called [07121] the name [08034] thereof Manna [04478]: and it was like coriander [01407] seed [02233], white [03836]; and the taste [02940] of it was like wafers [06838] made with honey [01706].
8 And the people [05971] went about [07751], and gathered [03950] it, and ground [02912] it in mills [07347], or beat [01743] it in a mortar [04085], and baked [01310] it in pans [06517], and made [06213] cakes [05692] of it: and the taste [02940] of it was as the taste [02940] of fresh [03955] oil [08081].
14 And when the dew [02919] that lay [07902] was gone up [05927], behold, upon the face [06440] of the wilderness [04057] there lay a small [01851] round thing [02636], as small [01851] as the hoar frost [03713] on the ground [0776].
48 I [1473] am [1510] that bread [740] of life [2222].
49 Your [5216] fathers [3962] did eat [5315] manna [3131] in [1722] the wilderness [2048], and [2532] are dead [599].
50 This [3778] is [2076] the bread [740] which [3588] cometh down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772], that [3363] a man [5100] may eat [5315] thereof [1537] [846], and [2532] not [3363] die [599].
51 I [1473] am [1510] the living [2198] bread [740] which [3588] came down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772]: if [1437] any man [5100] eat [5315] of [1537] this [5127] bread [740], he shall live [2198] for [1519] ever [165]: and [1161] [2532] the bread [740] that [3739] I [1473] will give [1325] is [2076] my [3450] flesh [4561], which [3739] I [1473] will give [1325] for [5228] the life [2222] of the world [2889].
35 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], I [1473] am [1510] the bread [740] of life [2222]: he that cometh [2064] to [4314] me [3165] shall never [3364] hunger [3983]; and [2532] he that believeth [4100] on [1519] me [1691] shall [1372] never [3364] [4455] thirst [1372].
