This noun denotes a type of thin, flat bread or wafer. Exodus 16:31 uses it to describe the appearance of manna, comparing the divine provision to a familiar baked good. The term suggests something thin and delicate—more like a cracker or wafer than a thick loaf. This comparison helped Israel conceptualize the unfamiliar manna by reference to known baked items, emphasizing both its bread-like sustenance and its unique, delicate character.
