Tehillim 78:23-37 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

23. Though He had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the daletei Shomayim (doors of heaven),

24. And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the bread of Shomayim [see Yn 6:31 OJBC].

25. Ish did eat the bread of angels; He sent them lechem to the full.

26. He caused an east wind to blow from Shomayim; and by His oz He brought in the south wind.

27. He rained meat also upon them like aphar, and winged fowls like the chol (sand) of the sea;

28. And He let it fall in the midst of their machaneh, all around their mishkenot (habitations).

29. So they did eat, and were well filled; for He gave them their own ta'avah (evil desire).

30. They were not estranged from their ta'avah. But while their food was yet in their mouths,

31. The Af Elohim (wrath of G-d) came upon them, and slaughtered the stoutest of them, and cut down the bochurim of Yisroel.

32. For all this they sinned still, and believed not in His nifla'ot (wondrous works).

33. Therefore their yamim did He consume in hevel (futility, vanity) and their shanim in terror.

34. When He slaughtered them, then they sought Him; and they returned and inquired diligently after G-d.

35. And they remembered that Elohim was their Tzur, and the El Elyon their Go'el (Redeemer).

36. Nevertheless they did flatter Him with their mouth, and they lied unto Him with their leshon.

37. For their lev was not right with Him, neither were they faithful in His Brit.
