When they come back to him one time, they’re presented with a stone—"Get water from the stone." They come back another time—stone.

Manna
"Manna" from the Bible refers to the miraculous food that God provided for the Israelites during their 40-year journey through the desert after their exodus from Egypt.
According to the Bible, specifically in the book of Exodus, manna fell from the sky in the morning and collected on the ground like dew.
The Israelites were instructed to gather just enough manna each day for their needs, with a double portion collected the day before the Sabbath, as none would fall on the Sabbath itself.
The description of manna varies somewhat in the text, but it's often described as small, round, white, and tasting like wafers made with honey.
The term "manna" itself sometimes metaphorically represents spiritual nourishment or a miraculous gift.
Exodus 16:15 - When the Israelites saw the food provided by God, they said to one another, "It is manna," because they did not know what it was.
Exodus 16:31 - The people of Israel called the bread manna.
Exodus 16:33 - Moses said to Aaron, "Take a jar and put an omer of manna in it.
Numbers 11:6-9 - The text here talks about the Israelites growing weary of eating manna, describing it and how it fell with the dew at night.
Nehemiah 9:20 - It mentions that God gave his good Spirit to instruct them and did not withhold his manna from their mouths.
Psalm 78:24 - It mentions that God rained down manna for the people to eat and gave them the grain of heaven.
John 6:31-58: In the New Testament, manna is referred to in Jesus' discourse where he compares himself to the manna that was provided to the Israelites, calling himself the "true bread from heaven" that gives life to the world, contrasting the temporary sustenance of manna with the eternal life he brings.
There they (Adam and Eve) saw a tree, and found on it solid manna; and wondered at God’s power.
And the angels commanded them to eat of the manna when they were hungry.
Golden objects
In the Ark of the Covenant, there was a golden urn holding the manna, as a reminder of the Israelites' time in the wilderness (Hebrews 9:4).
Poetic Edda
Old Norse (from the Codex Regius manuscript): Hún kastaði ørlögum, því at þær skyldi, ok teau á þingi tíva manna; þat er at þrekja, nema þrjár sé nornar, í höllu hverrar meyjar.
Old Norse (from the Codex Regius manuscript): Hún teiknaði þar, hvar teir tívar skulu byggja, ok býa manna; skiptu þeir sér at þingi tvisvar, er til ragna rök rofna hverja.
