SCRIPTURE

"and did all eat the same spiritual food;" — 1 Corinthians 10:3 (ASV)

The same spiritual meat (το αυτο πνευματικον βρωμα). Westcott and Hort needlessly bracket to αυτο. Βρωμα is food, not just flesh. The reference is to the manna (Exodus 16:13ff.) which is termed "spiritual" by reason of its supernatural character. Jesus called himself the true bread from heaven (John 6:35) which the manna typified.
