They had animals for meat and dairy (Numbers ch.32); and sometimes they bought things from local tribes (Talmud, Yoma 75b).
AnswerAccording to the Bible, the Israelites were given manna and quail.
Manna and water were provided to the Israelites in the wilderness. Manna was not like any other food.
Besides manna, the Israelites likely ate other foods that were available in the wilderness, such as quail (which God provided to them), livestock that they brought with them, and possibly wild plants and herbs that could be gathered. They also had some supplies with them when they left Egypt, which may have included grains, seeds, and dried fruits.
He sent them manna.
Manna was a plant God used to feed the Israelites in the dessert when there was no food. I don't think angels eat anything, since they are God's holy messengers.
Exodus 16:31 - And the house of Israel called its name Manna*. And it was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. [NKJV]* manna means "what is it?"
In the Old Testament (Exodus ch.16), it is called "manna."
If you mean manna in the biblical sence that it was 'holy food' - "God sent manna from heaven"
Manna
Joshua 5:12 "Then the manna stopped on the day following when they had eaten some of the produce of the land; there was no longer manna for the Israelites, but they began to eat the produce of the land of Caʹnaan in that year." Once they started eating of the produce of the promised land there was no need for manna. This would have been some time between 1473-1450 BCE according to Biblical chronology.
According to Exodus, God sent manna to the Israelites when they were in the desert for 40 years. This was their food and his was of showing them grace.
Manna in the Bible is described as a type of bread-like substance that God provided to the Israelites during their time in the desert. It is not explicitly stated what manna is made of in the Bible, but it is often depicted as a miraculous food that sustained the Israelites during their journey.
