1. manna — Masculine noun מָן, the miraculous bread-like substance provided by God to Israel during the wilderness wanderings (Exod 16:15,31,33,35; Num 11:6,7,9; Deut 8:3,16; Josh 5:12; Neh 9:20; Ps 78:24). The name itself may derive from the question מָן הוּא 'what is it?' (Exod 16:15). Multilingual evidence is unanimous: eng manna, spa maná, hin मन्ना, arb مَنًّا/الْمَنّ, kor 만나, swa mana. The split between plain 'manna' and conjunction-prefixed 'and-manna' / suffixed 'your-manna' is purely grammatical inflection, not a distinct meaning. 13×
