DefinitionShort: the miraculous food given by God to the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness
Glosses: manna
Comments: In most languages μάννα is rendered by a transliteration as ‘manna’ or ‘mana.’ One must, however, be very careful about the transliteration of this term, since it may correspond to an indigenous expression having quite a different meaning. Although in the OT it may be useful to have a marginal note explaining the play on words involved in the derivation of this term, in the NT one can usually use an expression such as ‘food called manna.’
