Targum Pseudo-Jonathan on Exodus 16:13 paints the arrival of the manna with a detail you will not find in the Hebrew: the dew was holy, and it was prepared as a table, round about the camp.
A table. The Targumist invites us to see the desert floor not as ground but as a banquet hall being set. The dew fell first, spread like a linen cloth across the wilderness. Only then did the clouds ascend, and only then did the manna descend upon the dew.
Why two layers? Because manna could not simply sit on the sand. It would have been contaminated, trampled, mixed with the dust of thousands of feet. The Targum's detail is theological and sanitary at once: the Holy One prepared a surface, a clean plate, before He served the meal.
The Hebrew word chofef, "surrounding," is rendered in the Targum as chazor chazor l'mashrita, "round about the camp." The table, in other words, encircled the camp on every side. You could walk in any direction from your tent and find a place already set for you.
The Maggid lingers on this. In the Jewish imagination, hospitality is holiness. A host who serves food on a dirty surface has not really hosted. A host who prepares the ground before presenting the meal has honored the guest. The Holy One, in the Targum's picture, was hosting.
Takeaway: the way you present what you give matters. A hurried handoff is not a gift. A prepared table, even a small one, communicates the respect you have for the one who will eat at it.
