8<\/strong>. fresh oil<\/em> ] a dainty prepared with<\/strong> oil<\/em>. The word rendered ‘dainty’ denotes something juicy<\/em>. LXX. has , which was a cake made with oil and honey; cf. ‘like wafers made with honey’ (Exod.).<\/p>\n Or, of the most excellent oil<\/I>; or, of the flour of oil<\/I>; or, as others, of cakes or paste made with the best oil<\/I>, the word cakes<\/I> being easily supplied out of the foregoing member of the verse; or, which is not much differing, like wafers made with honey<\/I>, as it is said Exo 16:31<\/span>. The nature and use of manna is here thus particularly described to show the greatness of their sin in despising such excellent food as this was. <\/P> <\/p>\n [And] the people went about and gathered [it]<\/strong>,…. 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:<\/p>\n and ground [it] in mills<\/strong>: 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:<\/p>\n or beat [it] in a mortar<\/strong>; with a pestle, as spices are beaten and bruised:<\/p>\n and baked [it] in pans<\/strong>; or rather boiled it in a pot, as the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem, since it follows:<\/p>\n and made cakes of it<\/strong>; 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, Isa 53:4<\/span>;<\/p>\n and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil<\/strong>; 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 comments on Ex 16:31]<\/span>.<\/p>\n (8) As the taste of fresh oil.<\/strong>Or, of a fat cake of oil. <\/em>In Exo. 16:31<\/span> the taste of the manna is said to have been like wafers made with honey. The ancients used flour cakes mixed with oil and honey.<\/p>\n 8<\/strong>. <\/strong> Ground it in mills <\/strong> These probably differed but little from the Syrian mills of the present time. The mortar <\/strong> is still used by the Arabs to pound wheat for kibby, <\/em> their national dish. <\/p>\n Pans <\/strong> R.V., “seethed it in pots.” The same Hebrew word is rendered pot <\/em> in Jdg 6:19<\/span>, and 1Sa 2:14<\/span>. <\/p>\n As the taste of fresh oil <\/strong> Olive oil. In Exo 16:31<\/span>, manna is said to have the taste of honey. Olive-oil and honey entered largely into the diet of the Hebrews in Canaan; they are also prominent articles of food to the Easterns at this day.<\/p>\n Num 11:8<\/span> [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.<\/p>\n Ver. 8. And the people went about.<\/strong> ] Or, “Went to and fro,” as men ought still to “increase knowledge,” Dan 12:4 “labouring for the meat that endureth to eternal life.” Joh 6:27 God might have saved them this labour, by raining manna into their mouths; but he would not, for the trial of their diligence; and that they might not think that worth nothing, that cost them nothing. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And ground it in mills.<\/strong> ] So was Jesus Christ ground and pounded with passion, baked and dried up in the oven of his Father’s displeasure, before he became fit food, and a Saviour to his Church. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As the taste of fresh oil.<\/strong> ] Or, Wafers baked with honey. Exo 16:31 The sweet promises of grace are sweeter than honey. Psa 19:10 No fresh and sweet oil can so cherish the face, as they do the heart of a believer.<\/p>\n the people: Exo 16:16-18, Joh 6:27, 33-58 <\/p>\n baked it: Exo 16:23 <\/p>\n taste of it: Exo 16:31 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Jos 3:5 – Sanctify 1Sa 16:5 – sanctify yourselves<\/p>\n [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. 8. fresh oil ] a dainty prepared with oil.
