Bonaventure, on Wis 16:27

Bonaventure · c. A.D. 1221–1274
Wis 16:27 · Douay-Rheims
“For that which could not be destroyed by fire, being warmed with a little sunbeam presently melted away:”
On this verse:
“For that which could not be destroyed by fire, namely the manna, because it hardened at fire, so that small cakes were made from it, as is clear from Numbers 11; when warmed by even a faint ray of the sun, immediately melted away, that is, it liquefied, as is clear from Exodus 16. Hence it was necessary that it be gathered in the morning.”
