Numbers 11:7 Context
5We remember the fish which wee did eate in Egypt freely: the cucumbers and the melons, and the leekes, and the onions, and the garlicke. 6But now our soule is dried away, there is nothing at all, besides this Manna, before our eyes. 7And the Manna was as Coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of Bdelium: 8And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in milles, or beat it in a morter, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oyle. 9And when the dew fell vpon the campe in the night, the Manna fell vpon it.

Wesley's Notes for Numbers 11:7
11:7 As coriander - seed - Not for colour, for that is black, but for shape and figure. Bdellium - Is either the gum of a tree, of a white and bright colour, or rather a gem or precious stone, as the Hebrew doctors take it; and particularly a pearl wherewith the Manna manifestly agrees both in its colour, which is white, #Exo 16:14|, and in its figure which is round.
