39 (A)He spread a cloud for a covering,
And fire to give light in the night.
40 (B)The people asked, and He brought quail,

41 (D)He opened the rock, and water gushed out;
It ran in the dry places like a river.

14 (A)In the daytime also He led them with the cloud,
And all the night with a light of fire.
15 (B)He split the rocks in the wilderness,
And gave them drink in abundance like the depths.
16 He also brought (C)streams out of the rock,
And caused waters to run down like rivers.
17 But they sinned even more against Him
By (D)rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.
18 And (E)they tested God in their heart
By asking for the food of their fancy.
19 (F)Yes, they spoke against God:
They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
20 (G)Behold, He struck the rock,
So that the waters gushed out,
And the streams overflowed.
Can He give bread also?
Can He provide meat for His people?”
21 Therefore the Lord heard this and (H)was furious;
So a fire was kindled against Jacob,
And anger also came up against Israel,
22 Because they (I)did not believe in God,
And did not trust in His salvation.
23 Yet He had commanded the clouds above,
(J)And opened the doors of heaven,
24 (K)Had rained down manna on them to eat,
And given them of the [a]bread of (L)heaven.
25 Men ate angels’ food;
He sent them food to [b]the full.
26 (M)He 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.

14 He guided them with the cloud by day
and with light from the fire all night.(A)
15 He split the rocks(B) in the wilderness
and gave them water as abundant as the seas;
16 he brought streams out of a rocky crag
and made water flow down like rivers.
17 But they continued to sin(C) against him,
rebelling in the wilderness against the Most High.
18 They willfully put God to the test(D)
by demanding the food they craved.(E)
19 They spoke against God;(F)
they said, “Can God really
spread a table in the wilderness?
20 True, he struck the rock,
and water gushed out,(G)
streams flowed abundantly,
but can he also give us bread?
Can he supply meat(H) for his people?”
21 When the Lord heard them, he was furious;
his fire broke out(I) against Jacob,
and his wrath rose against Israel,
22 for they did not believe in God
or trust(J) in his deliverance.
23 Yet he gave a command to the skies above
and opened the doors of the heavens;(K)
24 he rained down manna(L) for the people to eat,
he gave them the grain of heaven.
25 Human beings ate the bread of angels;
he sent them all the food they could eat.
26 He let loose the east wind(M) from the heavens
and by his power made the south wind blow.
27 He rained meat down on them like dust,
birds(N) like sand on the seashore.
28 He made them come down inside their camp,
all around their tents.
Nehemiah 9:12-23
New King James Version
12 Moreover You (A)led them by day with a cloudy pillar,
And by night with a pillar of fire,
To give them light on the road
Which they should travel.
13 “You(B) came down also on Mount Sinai,
And spoke with them from heaven,
And gave them (C)just ordinances and true laws,
Good statutes and commandments.
14 You made known to them Your (D)holy Sabbath,
And commanded them precepts, statutes and laws,
By the hand of Moses Your servant.
15 You (E)gave them bread from heaven for their hunger,
And (F)brought them water out of the rock for their thirst,
And told them to (G)go in to possess the land
Which You had [a]sworn to give them.
16 “But(H) they and our fathers acted [b]proudly,
(I)Hardened[c] their necks,
And did not heed Your commandments.
17 They refused to obey,
And (J)they were not mindful of Your wonders
That You did among them.
But they hardened their necks,
And [d]in their rebellion
They appointed (K)a leader
To return to their bondage.
But You are God,
Ready to pardon,
(L)Gracious and merciful,
Slow to anger,
Abundant in kindness,
And did not forsake them.
18 “Even (M)when they made a molded calf for themselves,
And said, ‘This is your god
That brought you up out of Egypt,’
And worked great provocations,
19 Yet in Your (N)manifold mercies
You did not forsake them in the wilderness.
The (O)pillar of the cloud did not depart from them by day,
To lead them on the road;
Nor the pillar of fire by night,
To show them light,
And the way they should go.
20 You also gave Your (P)good Spirit to instruct them,
And did not withhold Your (Q)manna from their mouth,
And gave them (R)water for their thirst.
21 (S)Forty years You sustained them in the wilderness;
They lacked nothing;
Their (T)clothes did not wear out
And their feet did not swell.
22 “Moreover You gave them kingdoms and nations,
And divided them into [e]districts.
So they took possession of the land of (U)Sihon,
[f]The land of the king of Heshbon,
And the land of Og king of Bashan.
23 You also multiplied (V)their children as the stars of heaven,
And brought them into the land
Which You had told their fathers
To go in and possess.

19 “Because of your great compassion you did not abandon(AA) them in the wilderness. By day the pillar of cloud(AB) did not fail to guide them on their path, nor the pillar of fire by night to shine on the way they were to take. 20 You gave your good Spirit(AC) to instruct(AD) them.

22 “You gave them kingdoms and nations, allotting to them even the remotest frontiers.
