Origen, on Exod 16:31
Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Exod 16:31 · Douay-Rheims
“And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed white, and the taste thereof like to flour with honey.”
On this verse:
“The Word of God becomes all these things to each and every one according as the capacity or the desire of the participant requires. In just the same way the manna also, although it was one food, yielded its flavor to each person after his desire. So he does not offer himself only as bread to those who hunger and as wine to those who thirst, but he presents himself also as fragrant apples to those who crave delights.”
