the manna and the matzo



What am I going to do with all this matzo? Somehow inadvertently - without meaning to hoard - I've ended up with a 50 days supply of matzo, enough to carry me from Passover to the feast of Tabernacles, or from Easter Day to the high feast of Pentecost...

Now, matzo, unleavened bread, is as Exodus 12 tells us, to be eaten for seven days during Passover.

Manna is the bread from heaven the Israelites ate in the desert for forty years per Exodus 16.

Don't confuse the two.

Now the fact that I have a storehouse full of Matzo that will last me through the end of next month, that's beside the point.
