Psalms 78:18-28 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

18. And they tested God in their heart by asking food for their craving.

19. And they spoke against God. They said, “Is God able to prepare a table in the wilderness?

20. Yes, he struck the rock and water flowed and streams gushed out, but can he also give food or provide meat for his people?”

21. Therefore Yahweh heard and he was very angry, and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and his anger also rose up against Israel,

22. because they did not believe God, and they did not trust his salvation.

23. Nevertheless, he commanded the skies above and opened the doors of heaven,

24. and rained down on them manna to eat and gave them the grain of heaven.

25. Humankind ate the bread of angels. He sent them food enough to be satisfied.

26. He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens and drove along the south wind by his strength.

27. Then he rained meat on them like dust, even winged birds like the sand of the seas.

28. He caused them to fall in the midst of his camp, all around his dwellings.
