22
εγενετο δε τη ημερα τη εκτη συνελεξαν τα δεοντα διπλα δυο γομορ τω ενι εισηλθοσαν δε παντες οι αρχοντες της συναγωγης και ανηγγειλαν μωυσει
Exodus 16:22
Arcana Coelestia #8520
8520. 'And the house of Israel called its name Man' means its essential nature among them. This is clear from the meaning of 'name' and 'calling the name' as the essential nature of a thing, dealt with in 144, 145, 1896, 2009, 2724, 3006, 3421, 6674. The fact that it was called Man because they did not know what it was, and that it means the good of truth, which is the good of those belonging to the spiritual Church, see 8462, 8464.
