Exodus 16:34

The Testimony] the Law which 'testifies' to God's will, inscribed on the two tables of stone and deposited in the ark (Exodus 25:16), which is accordingly called the 'ark of the testimony' (Exodus 25:22; Numbers 4:5) and sometimes simply 'the testimony'; see Numbers 17:4. The tent containing the ark is called the 'tent or tabernacle of the testimony': see Numbers 9:16. The pot of manna is here said to have been deposited before the testimony; but according to Hebrews 9:4 it was in the ark. The pot of manna was a favourite symbol among the Jews. From the remains of the synagogue at Capernaum it seems that a pot of manna was carved on the lintel of the door of that synagogue. This must have given point to our Lord's discourse on the 'bread of life' there: see John 6:24.
