MANNA. This is generally put for the Manna, wherewith the Children of Israel were fed in the Wilderness, and of which we shall speak presently. Also in Baruch, i. 10. it is used for an Offering called in Hebrew, Mincha. Facite manna, & offerte pro peccato. This is what the Captives of Babylon wrote to their Brethren the Jews of Jerusalem. We send you Money to buy Sacrifices and burnt Offerings. Make Offerings of Bread, Cakes, Meal, Wine, &c. This they call Manna in this Place. See OFFERING afterwards.
