8. and might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not set their heart aright and whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
9. The sons of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
10. They did not keep the covenant of God and refused to walk in his law
11. and forgot his works and his wonders that he had showed them.
12. He did marvellous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
13. He divided the sea and caused them to pass through, and he made the waters to stand as a heap.
14. In the daytime also he led them with a cloud and all the night with a light of fire.
15. He clave the rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
16. He brought streams also out of the rock and caused waters to run down like rivers.
17. And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
18. And they tempted God in their heart by asking for food according to the desires of their soul.
19. And they spoke against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
20. Behold, he smote the rock that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
21. Therefore the Lord heard this and was wroth, so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel
22. because they had not believed God, nor had they trusted in his saving health;
23. and he commanded the clouds of above and opened the doors of the heavens
24. and caused manna to rain upon them to eat and gave them wheat of the heavens.
25. Man did eat the food of the strong; he sent them food to the full.
