Numbers 11:8

And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.

Cross-reference

Exodus 16:16-18 gives the original command to gather an omer per person — the same practice recalled in this later account.

John 6:27 Contrast

In John 6:27, Jesus contrasts perishable manna with the eternal food he offers — a direct contrast between physical and spiritual bread.

John 6:33-58 presents Jesus as the true bread from heaven, fulfilling the typology of manna that sustained Israel.
