Números 11:8

8 O povo saía recolhendo o maná nas redondezas e o moía num moinho manual ou socava-o num pilão; depois cozinhava o maná e com ele fazia bolos. Tinha gosto de bolo amassado com azeite de oliva.

Números 11:8 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 11:8

[And] the people went about and gathered [it]
Went about the camp on all sides, where it fell in plenty; this they did every morning, and this was all the trouble they were at; they had it for gathering, without any expense to them:

and ground [it] in mills:
in hand mills, as Aben Ezra; for though it melted through the heat of the sun, and became a liquid, yet, when gathered in the morning, it was hard like grains of corn, or other seeds, and required to be ground in mills:

or beat [it] in a mortar;
with a pestle, as spices are beaten and bruised:

and baked [it] in pans;
or rather boiled it in a pot, as the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem, since it follows:

and made cakes of it;
which were baked on the hearth; all which may denote the sufferings of Christ, who was beaten, and bruised, and broken, that he might become fit food for faith, ( Isaiah 53:4 Isaiah 53:5 Isaiah 53:10 ) ;

and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil;
which is very grateful and pleasant, as well as very fattening and nourishing; so that the Israelites had no reason to complain of their being dried away by continual eating of it; (See Gill on Exodus 16:31).

Números 11:8 In-Context

6 Mas agora perdemos o apetite; nunca vemos nada, a não ser este maná!”

7 O maná era como semente de coentro e tinha aparência de resina.

8 O povo saía recolhendo o maná nas redondezas e o moía num moinho manual ou socava-o num pilão; depois cozinhava o maná e com ele fazia bolos. Tinha gosto de bolo amassado com azeite de oliva.

9 Quando o orvalho caía sobre o acampamento à noite, também caía o maná.

10 Moisés ouviu gente de todas as famílias se queixando, cada uma à entrada de sua tenda. Então acendeu-se a ira do SENHOR, e isso pareceu mal a Moisés.
