Psalm 78:24-26
New English Translation
24 He rained down manna for them to eat;
he gave them the grain of heaven.[a]
25 Man ate the food of the mighty ones.[b]
He sent them more than enough to eat.[c]
26 He brought the east wind through the sky,
and by his strength led forth the south wind.
Footnotes
- Psalm 78:24 sn Manna was apparently shaped like a seed (Exod 16:31), perhaps explaining why it is here compared to grain.
- Psalm 78:25 sn Because of the reference to “heaven” in the preceding verse, it is likely that mighty ones refers here to the angels of heaven. The LXX translates “angels” here, as do a number of modern translations (NEB, NIV, NRSV).
- Psalm 78:25 tn Heb “provision he sent to them to satisfaction.”
