The Feast of Unleavened Bread is a feast that is generally mistaken for Passover.

Feast of Unleavened Bread lasts for seven days.
On the evening after Passover God told the Hebrew people exiting Egypt not to allow their bread to rise, but to grab everything and leave.

The Feast of Booths (known to some as the Feast of Tabernacles) is
the seventh and last festival on the biblical calendar, as recorded in Leviticus 23.
Also known as Sukkot in Hebrew, God wanted the Israelites to observe this festival by living in temporary shelters for seven days as a reminder that when their ancestors were in the wilderness, God provided them booths to dwell in.

Manna /ma'en./
bread without yeast,
unleavened bread
barley loaf

blood of life
bread of life
//=== https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manna
Manna (Hebrew: מָן) or al-Mann (Arabic: المَنّ , Kurdish: gezo, Persian: گزانگبین),
sometimes or archaically spelled mana,
is an edible substance which, according to the Bible and the Quran,
God provided for the Israelites during their travels in the desert
during the forty-year period following the Exodus and prior to the conquest of Canaan.
...
In the Hebrew Bible, manna is described twice: once in Exodus 16:1-36 with the full narrative surrounding it, and once again in Numbers 11:1-9 as a part of a separate narrative.
...
in the Book of Exodus, manna is described as being "a fine, flake-like thing" like the frost on the ground.
...
It is described in the Book of Numbers as arriving with the dew during the night.
...
Exodus adds that manna was comparable to hoarfrost in size,
similarly had to be collected before it was melted by the heat of the sun,
and was like a coriander seed that is white.
...
Numbers describes it as having the appearance of bdellium,
adding that the Israelites ground it and pounded it into cakes, which were then baked, resulting in something that tasted like cakes baked with oil.
...
Exodus states that raw manna tasted like wafers that had been made with honey.
...
Exodus 16:23-24 states:
This is what the Lord commanded: "Tomorrow is to be a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. So bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil. Save whatever is left and keep it until morning." So they saved it until morning, as Moses commanded, and it did not stink or get maggots in it.
...
At the turn of the twentieth century, Arabs of the Sinai Peninsula were selling resin from the tamarisk tree as man es-simma, roughly meaning "heavenly manna".
...
Tamarisk trees (particularly Tamarix gallica) were once comparatively extensive
throughout the southern Sinai, and their resin is similar to wax,
melts in the sun, is sweet and aromatic (like honey), and has a dirty-yellow color,
fitting somewhat with the Biblical descriptions of manna.
However, this resin is mostly composed of sugar, so it would be unlikely to provide
sufficient nutrition for a population to survive over long periods of time,
...
Man is possibly cognate with the Arabic term man, meaning plant lice,
with man hu thus meaning "this is plant lice",
which fits one widespread modern identification of manna,
the crystallized honeydew of certain scale insects.
In the environment of a desert, such honeydew rapidly dries due to
evaporation of its water content, becoming a sticky solid, and
later turning whitish, yellowish, or brownish;
honeydew of this form is considered a delicacy in the Middle East, and
is a good source of carbohydrates.
In particular, there is a scale insect that feeds on tamarisk,
the Tamarisk manna scale (Trabutina mannipara), which is often considered to be
the prime candidate for biblical manna.

Skate began to appear in print in the US at the end of the nineteenth century, almost simultaneously meaning a worn-out horse, a mean or contemptible person, and a second-rate sportsman (later, in the Royal Navy, according to Eric Partridge, it became a slang term for a troublesome rating). Cheap was added early on to refer to a person’s tight-fisted nature rather than any of his other perceived inadequacies.
