נפשנו יבשה. היא הנפש המתאוה הנטועה בכבד: BUT NOW OUR SOUL IS DRIED AWAY. The reference is to the lusting soul, which is implanted in the liver.29See The Secret of the Torah, page 96. According to I.E. there are three souls in the body, neshamah, ru’ach, and nefesh. The neshamah (rational soul) is manifested in the brain; the ru’ach (spirit) is located in the heart; and the nefesh (the lusting soul), the part of the psyche that desires food and sex, is in the liver.

אין כל. חסרנו כל דבר: THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL. We lack everything.

עינינו. כי מן השמים ירד: TO LOOK TO. For the manna came down from heaven.30We watch the manna come down from the heavens (Weiser).
