  • Yakan: “They said to Isa, ‘What sign are you going to show us (excl.) so that we (excl.) will believe in you? Our (incl.) forefathers ate manna there in the lonely place in old times. The holy-book says, ‘They were given food from heaven.’ Na, you,’ they said to Isa, ‘what deed can you do?'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Because long ago our ancestors when they were in the land which cannot be lived in, manna is the food that God gave them. Because there is a written word of God which says, ‘Food from heaven is what Moses gave them.’ ‘” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)

  • Tagbanwa: “Because as for Moises, he also was able to do like that, when he was leading our ancestors there in the wilderness place, for they got to eat food called manna.
