Psalms 78:23 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 78:23

21 Therefore the Lord heard this and ^awas furious;
So a fire was kindled against Jacob,
And anger also came up against Israel,

22 Because they ^adid not believe in God,
And did not trust in His salvation.

23 Yet He had commanded the clouds above,
^aAnd opened the doors of heaven,

24 ^aHad rained down manna on them to eat,
And given them of the¹ bread of ^bheaven.

25 Men ate angels’ food;
He sent them food to¹ the full.

26 ^aHe caused an east wind to blow in the heavens;
And by His power He brought in the south wind.

27 He also rained meat on them like the dust,
Feathered fowl like the sand of the seas;

28 And He let them fall in the midst of their camp,
All around their dwellings.

29 ^aSo they ate and were well filled,
For He gave them their own desire.

30 They were not¹ deprived of their craving;
But ^awhile their food was still in their mouths,

31 The wrath of God came against them,
And slew the stoutest of them,
And struck down the choice men of Israel.
