like Coriander seed] Not in colour, but in forme and figure, for the colour of it was like the colour of Bdelium, Numbers 11:7. which is white as Crystall; the colour of Bdelium, some say, somewhat inclineth to yellow, so is not Coriander seede, for that (though it be not black) is of a darker colour inclining to browne. and the taste of it] Unbaked or dressed was like unto sweet wafers, but when it was drest, it tasted like fresh oyle, Numbers 11:8. yet it may be, this Manna in Exodus, might differ in tast from that in Numbers; but both serve to confute the Apocryphall conceit of the Authour of the Book of Wisdome, Chap. 16. vers. 20. 21. viz. that Manna was that in tast, which every man delighted in: for in both places the tast is specified, and restrained: and if it were that which every one liked, how came it to be so disliked as it was? Numbers 11:6.
