Those of the Jews that perished in the wilderness, did all eat the same manna which Caleb and Joshua ate of, who went into Canaan; or, those Jews that so perished in the wilderness did eat the same spiritual meat that we do, they in the type, we in the antitype. Manna is called spiritual meat:
1. Because it was bread which came down from heaven, the habitation of spiritual beings, 1 Thessalonians 6:31.
2. It was miraculously produced.
3. Because it was angels food, given out by their ministry.
4. But principally, because it signified Christ, who was the true bread from heaven, 1 Thessalonians 6:32.
