Angels. Hebrew also, "of the strong ones. "(Aquila)
Such is the blessed Eucharist, of which manna was only a figure, John vi. The angels prepared this food. (Calmet)
It was an effect of the divine bounty, not of the power of Moses, John xi. 32. How it could be inferior (Berthier) to the bread which Christ would give, was a riddle to the Jews, as it must be still to all who do not admit the real presence. If both were figures, surely manna was better than common bread. (Haydock)
