Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness,.... All the while they were in the wilderness, for the space of forty years, till they came to the borders of the land of Canaan; this was their only food on which they lived, during their travels through the wilderness.
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)reformed
Your fathers did eat manna - There was a real miracle performed in their behalf; there was a perpetual interposition of God which showed that they were his chosen people. And are dead - The bread which they ate could not save them from death. Though God interfered in their behalf, yet they died. We may learn, 1. That that is not the most valuable of Gods gifts which merely satisfies the temporal wants. 2. That the most distinguished temporal blessings will not save from death. Wealth, friends, food, raiment, will not preserve life.
