The message of this passage is that manna falling instead of storms signifies a blessing. It recalls the seventh plague of Egypt (Ex 9:13-15), as if it happened at the same time as the story of the manna (Ex 16; Nm 11), showing that true nourishment comes from the Word of the Lord (26) and emphasizing the importance of prayer (28; cf. Ex 16:21). This event has been widely remembered in Christian tradition, especially in relation to the theme of the Eucharist (Ps 78:25; 105:40; Jn 6). The hailstorm and the manna serve as lessons for the author’s audience about remaining faithful to God’s Word and maintaining a life of prayer. These two points remain central in the life of believers today, along with their brotherly love.
