Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(31) Manna.--Rather, man. (See Note on Exodus 16:15.) "Manna" is a Greek form, first used by the LXX. translator of Numbers (Exodus 11:6-7; Exodus 11:9).It was like coriander seed.--The appearance of the manna is compared above to hoar frost (Exodus 16:14); here, and in Numbers 11:7, to coriander seed. The former account describes its look as it lay on the ground, the latter its appearance after it was collected and brought in. The coriander seed is "a small round grain, of a whitish or yellowish grey." In Numbers it is further said that the colour was that of bdellium, which is a whitish resin. . . .
