When God heard their grumbling, He rained down food from heaven for them to gather the food they needed every day.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Exodus+16%3A1-4&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Exodus 16:1–4 |publisher= |quote=}}</ref> That food was ''manna''.
