What is this? A pot of Manna!

(1909 - 1985)


     We might also ask, “What is this pot of manna and what is its significance in York Rite Masonry, especially in the degree of Royal Arch?”

     The first account of manna is in the book of manna is in the book of Exodus.  The followers of Moses had been in the desert for more than a month and were in want of food.  Quail were sent by the Lord in the evening, and after the dew had gone there was on the face of the wilderness a fine, flake-like thing, fine as hoarfrost on the ground.  The people asked, “What is it?” or “Man hu?” (in Hebrew).  Moses replied, “It is the bread the Lord has given you to eat.”

     The people of Israel were told to gather the manna and not leave any until morning.  Some left a part, and it became worms and foul.  Morning by morning it was gathered, and when the sun grew hot it melted.  This divine supply lasted for 40 years and ceased the day after the people ate the produce of Canaan.  God never wastes his power; once the need for the manna was over it ceased to fall.
