Contradiction with Numbers 11:6
Contradicts Exodus 16:31 by depicting the Israelites' disdain for the manna, referring to it as something their soul loathes, showing a lack of appreciation for it as provided by God.
Numbers 11:6: But now our soul [is] dried away: [there is] nothing at all, beside this manna, [before] our eyes.
Contradiction with John 6:49
Suggests a failure of the manna in maintaining life, as it states that those who ate manna are dead, contradicting the portrayal of manna as a life-sustaining provision in Exodus 16:31.
John 6:49: Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 8:3
Indicates that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word from God, which contrasts with the idea in Exodus 16:31 that manna is a significant sustenance given by God.
Deuteronomy 8:3: And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every [word] that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
Contradiction with Numbers 21:5
When the Israelites complain about having only manna to eat and express their contempt for it, contradicting Exodus 16:31 where the manna is depicted positively as sustaining them in the desert.
Numbers 21:5: And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for [there is] no bread, neither [is there any] water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
Paradox #1
One contradiction could be the description of manna having a taste like wafers made with honey, while it is elsewhere described as tasting like fresh oil or cream, showing different accounts of its taste.
