(Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)
An omer of manna laid up in a golden pot before the ark was a standing miracle, meant to silence every murmur. Posterity would see what sort of food sustained them, and judge whether they had cause to complain or reason to thank God; eaten bread must not be forgotten. The manna never failed them forty years, though Israel was provoking, thus God's providence is constant, and Christ Himself is the true manna, the bread of life.
