The Meaning of Manna in the Bible
Manna is the bread from heaven sent by God to the Israelites in the Old Testament.
The word "manna" is based on the Hebrew word "man," which means "gift." The manna, therefore, was a gift from God.
When the Israelites wandered in the desert, they complained about being hungry. They felt regret for leaving Egypt because at least in slavery they had food to eat.
After the complaints, God told Moses he would rain down bread from heaven for the people to eat. Each morning they would go out and gather the bread and eat it that day.
In the New Testament, Jesus refers to himself as the "bread of life" that comes down from heaven (John 6). Instead of feeding his people with bread from heaven, God sent his son to be the Church's daily bread.
