20. See, He struck the rock, waters gushed out, streams overflowed. But can He give bread? Will He provide meat for His people?”
21. When Adonai heard, He was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, and fury also rose against Israel.
22. For they did not believe in God or trust in His salvation.
23. Yet He commanded the skies above and opened the doors of heaven,
24. and rained down manna upon them to eat, and gave them grain of heaven.
25. Man did eat the bread of angels. He sent them abundant provision.
26. He loosed the east wind in the skies, and by His power He drove the south wind.
27. He rained meat upon them like dust, and winged fowl like sand of the seas.
28. And He let it fall amidst their camp, all around their tents.
29. So they ate and were very full— for He gave them their desire.
30. No longer a stranger from their desire, while their food was still in their mouths,
31. the anger of God rose against them and slew the stoutest of them, and struck down young men of Israel.
32. Despite all this they sinned still more, and did not trust in His wonders.
33. So He ended their days in futility and their years in terror.
