13. God parted the Red Sea and led them through it. He made the water stand up like a wall.
14. He guided them with the cloud during the day. He led them with the light of a fire all night long.
15. He broke the rocks open in the desert. He gave them as much water as there is in the oceans.
16. He brought streams out of a rocky cliff. He made water flow down like rivers.
17. But they continued to sin against him. In the desert they refused to obey the Most High God.
18. They were stubborn and put God to the test. They ordered him to give them the food they longed for.
19. They spoke against God. They said, "Can God put food on a table in the desert?
20. When he struck the rock, streams of water poured out. Huge amounts of water flowed down. But can he also give us food? Can he supply meat for his people?"
21. When the Lord heard what they said, he was very angry. His anger broke out like fire against the people of Jacob. He became very angry with Israel.
22. That was because they didn't believe in God. They didn't trust in his power to save them.
23. But he gave a command to the skies above. He opened the doors of the heavens.
24. He rained down manna for the people to eat. He gave them the grain of heaven.
25. Mere men ate the bread of angels. He sent them all of the food they could eat.
