The words, as the corpus holds them (each checked present, or absent, in the verses cited beside it):
- לֶחֶם lechem, “bread”
- שָׁמַיִם shamayim, “heavens”
- נָתַן natan, “give”
- אָכַל akhal, “eat”
- שָׁנָה shanah, “year”
Sources:
- Hebrew words checked against the annotated corpus by tests/test_correlations.py; Greek references checked against SBLGNT for existence only.
- No cell names the manna itself as a checked word: the corpus stores man, manna, and min, from, under one lemma, so the check could not tell them apart.
