| Numbers 11:7 | *Now the manna was like coriander-seed, of the colour of bdellium. Exodus 16:14.; Psalm 77:24.; Wisdom 16:20.; John 6:31. | Bdellium. Bdellium, according to Pliny, ([Natural History?] lib. XXI. chp. 9,) was of the colour of a man's nail, white and bright; (Challoner) or like wax, ([Natural History?] lib. 12:9,) between white and yellow. It might resemble a tarnished pearl or ivory in colour, and coriander-seed in shape. |
