It was largely the only food that the Lord provided during the 40
years

Again I ask what is your source for this statement.
In Shemot (Exodus) 16:32 Pharoh said: "Take both your flocks and your
herds, as ye have said, and be gone;........." Flocks and herds means
chickens, sheep and cattle. Manna may have been the only "bread" during
the wandering, but it was not the only food.
I believe the livestock was gone by the second month out of Egypt,
(Ex 16:1-3) however you are both overlooking the quail that were sent
every evening.
The quail was sent only initially (Ex 16:35).
Quoted message said:An omer was about 2 litres,
That would be inconsistent with the use of a jar with no volume
designation (Ex. 16:33).
Quoted message said:but since it was a volumetric measure I
don't know where this "2 pounds" business is supposed to come from --
The 2 pounds has been empirically determined to be the right amount of
daily food for all. This latter amount is called omer in the Bible.
Quoted message said:but it doesn't really matter because the quail every evening totally
wrecks this stupid theory. HTH :-)
Would suggest you read Numbers 11:4-33.

You will remain in my prayers, dear Bob whom I love, in Christ's holy
name.
May you reject your pride and accept Him as your personal Lord and
Savior, someday, so that you too will have eternal life and the
fascinating riches of His everlasting kingdom.
Here's how:

Please note that God truly made this special link describing that He is
the great "I am" and that His message is as simple as the number 2 which
is a number between 1 to 9 and reminds us of His 2 commandments, the 2
arms of the cross, the 2nd part of the Trinity, the 2 finger sign of the
Prince of Peace [who remains *V*ictorious over death and satan], and the
2PD-OMER Approach. Let it not ever be written that Christ did not make
His presence known here on Usenet :-)
Also, note that Exodus 16:16 continues to remind us that 16 oz plus 16
oz makes 2 pounds, which is "a certain measure of weight," which is what
"omer" literally means in Hebrew.
Enter the 2PD-OMER Approach, which can "cure" metabolic syndrome (MetS)
thereby bringing this thread back on topic for these NGs :-)
