og da de målte det med Omeren, havde den, der havde meget, ikke for meget, og den, der havde lidt, ikke for lidt, enhver havde samlet, hvad han behøvede til Føde.

8536. Verses 35-36 And the children of Israel ate the man[na] forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate the man[na] until they came to the border of the land of Canaan. And an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
'And the children of Israel ate the marina] forty years' means making the good of truth their own in the state involving all temptations. 'Until they came to an inhabited land' means before they reached heaven, where good resides everywhere. 'They ate the man[na] until they came to the border of the land of Canaan' means that they went on making good from truth their own, until they reached the region of heaven. 'And an omer is the tenth part of an ephah' means the amount of good then.
