“And lo! the children of Israel were hungry and bereft of hope. They beseeched Aaron to seek the guidance of the LORD.”

“So Aaron cried out, ‘O LORD! Your children are miserable and racked with the pangs of hunger for behold, there is nowhere to eat on this day! Guide me, LORD, so that I may tell thy people where to find sustenance!”

“And the heavens flashed with lightning and the voice of the LORD boomed like thunder: ‘I have heard thy supplication, Aaron! I recommend the Chinese Garden on 2nd Avenue, just over the next hill. They have an all-you-can-eat buffet on weekdays from 11 to 1. And their General Tso’s Chicken is the best you’ll find ‘round these parts!’ Thus spoke the LORD.”

So “manna from Heaven” was a mistranslation for “Chinese buffet on 2nd Avenue”? Who knew?
