The allusions of the story “Manna from Heaven” in the bible is about receiving a gift that you were not expecting. It is used in the bible during Exodus 16:15 “When the people of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?”. For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “It is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat.” There are more examples of Manna from Heaven being used in the bible. This allusion would be described as an exciting or grateful thing. Receiving a gift that you didn’t expect is exciting, and grateful. This allusion could be used to represent a thankful attitude or ecstatic attitude towards the gift or thing that you received. The richness of the story “Manna from Heaven” shows that this allusion best represents how meaningful a gift from god

can be. The Hebrews receive something they didn't expect, and they were extremely grateful for it. That is the allusion of “Manna from Heaven”

A movie called "Manna form Heaven" came out a while ago. This relates to the allusion because it is about a family that receives a large amount of money out of no where, but it turns out to be a loan.
A literary work related to the allusion is "Manna from Heaven" by Amber
There is also a food truck related to the allusion called "Manna from Heaven" meaning that their food is so good its like the Manna form heaven in the bible.
