Psalms 78:16-32 in English

¹⁶ He brought streams also out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet went they on still to sin against him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ And they tempted God in their heart By asking food according to their desire.

¹⁹ Yea, they spake against God; They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, And streams overflowed; Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?

²¹ Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; And a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also went up against Israel;

²² Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his salvation.

²³ Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven;

²⁴ And he rained down manna upon them to eat, And gave them food from heaven.

²⁵ Man did eat the bread of the mighty: He sent them food to the full.

²⁶ He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens; And by his power he guided the south wind.

²⁷ He rained flesh also upon them as the dust, And winged birds as the sand of the seas:

²⁸ And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, Round about their habitations.

²⁹ So they did eat, and were well filled; And he gave them their own desire.

³⁰ They were not estranged from that which they desired, Their food was yet in their mouths,

³¹ When the anger of God went up against them, And slew of the fattest of them, And smote down the young men of Israel.

³² For all this they sinned still, And believed not in his wondrous works.

¹⁶ He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

¹⁸ And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

¹⁹ Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?

²¹ Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

²² Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

²³ Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

²⁴ And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.

²⁵ Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full.

²⁶ He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.

²⁷ He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:

²⁸ And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.

²⁹ So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;

³⁰ They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

³¹ The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

³² For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

¹⁶ He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

¹⁸ And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

¹⁹ Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?

²¹ Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

²² Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

²³ Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

²⁴ And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.

²⁵ Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full.

²⁶ He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.

²⁷ He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:

²⁸ And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.

²⁹ So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;

³⁰ They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

³¹ The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

³² For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

¹⁶ He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet went they on still to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

¹⁹ Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; can he give bread also? will he provide flesh for his people?

²¹ Therefore the LORD heard, and was wroth: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel;

²² Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation.

²³ Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven;

²⁴ And he rained down manna upon them to eat, and gave them of the corn of heaven.

²⁵ Man did eat the bread of the mighty: he sent them meat to the full.

²⁶ He caused the east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he guided the south wind.

²⁷ He rained flesh also upon them as the dust, and winged fowl as the sand of the seas:

²⁸ And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.

²⁹ So they did eat, and were well filled; and he gave them that they lusted after.

³⁰ They were not estranged from their lust, their meat was yet in their mouths,

³¹ When the anger of God went up against them, and slew of the fattest of them, and smote down the young men of Israel.

³² For all this they sinned still, and believed not in his wondrous works.

¹⁶ He caused a stream of water to flow from the rock; the water flowed like a river DOU.

¹⁷ But our ancestors continued to sin against God; in the desert they rebelled against the one who is greater than any other god.

¹⁸ By demanding that God give them the food that they desired, they tried to find out if he would always do what they requested him to do.

¹⁹ They insulted God by saying, “We don't think he can supply food for us here in this desert!

²⁰ It is true that he struck the rock, with the result that water gushed/flowed out, but ◄can he also provide bread and meat for us, his people?/we doubt that he can also provide bread and meat for us, his people.►” RHQ

²¹ So, when Yahweh heard that, he became very angry, and he sent a fire to burn up some of his Israeli people. MTY, DOU

²² He did that because they did not trust in him, and they did not believe that he would rescue them.

²³ But God spoke to the sky above them; he commanded it to open like a door,

²⁴ and then food fell down like rain, food which they named ❛manna❜; God gave them grain from ◄heaven/the sky►.

²⁵ So the people ate the food that angels eat, and God gave to them all the manna that they wanted.

²⁶ Later, he caused the wind to blow from the east, and by his power he also sent wind from the south,

²⁷ and the wind brought birds which were as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore.

²⁸ God caused those birds to fall dead in the middle of ◄their camp►/the area where the people had put up their tents. There were dead birds all around their tents.

²⁹ So the people cooked the birds and ate the meat and their stomachs were full, because God had given them what they wanted.

³⁰ But before they had eaten all that they wanted, and while they were still eating it,

³¹ God was still very angry with them, and he caused their strongest men to die; he got rid of many of the finest young Israeli men.

³² In spite of all that, the people continued to sin; in spite of all the miracles that God had performed, they still did not trust that he would take care of them.

¹⁶ He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

¹⁹ Yes, they spoke against God. They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”

²¹ Therefore Yahweh heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,

²² because they didn’t believe in God, and didn’t trust in his salvation.

²³ Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven.

²⁴ He rained down manna on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky.

²⁵ Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full.

²⁶ He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind.

²⁷ He also rained meat on them as the dust, winged birds as the sand of the seas.

²⁸ He let them fall in the middle of their camp, around their habitations.

²⁹ So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.

³⁰ They didn’t turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,

³¹ when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of their strongest, and struck down the young men of Israel.

³² For all this they still sinned, and didn’t believe in his wondrous works.

¹⁶ He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

¹⁹ Yes, they spoke against God. They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”

²¹ Therefore Yahweh heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,

²² because they didn’t believe in God, and didn’t trust in his salvation.

²³ Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven.

²⁴ He rained down manna on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky.

²⁵ Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full.

²⁶ He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind.

²⁷ He also rained meat on them as the dust, winged birds as the sand of the seas.

²⁸ He let them fall in the middle of their camp, around their habitations.

²⁹ So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.

³⁰ They didn’t turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,

³¹ when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of their strongest, and struck down the young men of Israel.

³² For all this they still sinned, and didn’t believe in his wondrous works.

¹⁶ He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

¹⁹ Yes, they spoke against God. They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”

²¹ Therefore the LORD heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,

²² because they didn’t believe in God, and didn’t trust in his salvation.

²³ Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven.

²⁴ He rained down manna on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky.

²⁵ Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full.

²⁶ He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind.

²⁷ He also rained meat on them as the dust, winged birds as the sand of the seas.

²⁸ He let them fall in the middle of their camp, around their habitations.

²⁹ So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.

³⁰ They didn’t turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,

³¹ when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of their strongest, and struck down the young men of Israel.

³² For all this they still sinned, and didn’t believe in his wondrous works.

¹⁶ He made streams come out of the rock; and waters came flowing down like rivers.

¹⁷ And they went on sinning against him even more, turning away from the Most High in the waste land;

¹⁸ Testing God in their hearts, requesting meat for their desire.

¹⁹ They said bitter words against God, saying, Is God able to make ready a table in the waste land?

²⁰ See, the rock was cut open by his power, so that the water came rushing out, and overflowing streams; is he able to give us bread? is he able to get meat for his people?

²¹ So these things came to the Lord's ears, and he was angry; and a fire was lighted against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel;

²² Because they had no faith in God, and no hope in his salvation.

²³ And he gave orders to the clouds on high, and the doors of heaven were open;

²⁴ And he sent down manna like rain for their food, and gave them the grain of heaven.

²⁵ Man took part in the food of strong ones; he sent them meat in full measure.

²⁶ He sent an east wind from heaven, driving on the south wind by his power.

²⁷ He sent down meat on them like dust, and feathered birds like the sand of the sea,

²⁸ And he let it come down into their resting-place, round about their tents.

²⁹ So they had food and were full; for he gave them their desire;

³⁰ But they were not turned from their desires; and while the food was still in their mouths,

³¹ The wrath of God came on them, and put to death the fattest of them, and put an end to the young men of Israel.

³² For all this they went on sinning even more, and had no faith in his great wonders.

¹⁶ And he brought streams out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet they still went on sinning against him, provoking the Most High in the desert;

¹⁸ And they tempted God in their heart, by asking meat for their lust;

¹⁹ And they spoke against God: they said, Is God able to prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, and waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; is he able to give bread also, or provide flesh for his people?

²¹ Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; and fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel:

²² Because they believed not in God, and confided not in his salvation;

²³ Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of the heavens,

²⁴ And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the corn of the heavens.

²⁵ Man did eat the bread of the mighty; he sent them provision to the full.

²⁶ He caused the east wind to rise in the heavens, and by his strength he brought the south wind;

²⁷ And he rained flesh upon them as dust, and feathered fowl as the sand of the seas,

²⁸ And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations:

²⁹ And they did eat, and were well filled; for that they lusted after, he brought to them.

³⁰ They were not alienated from their lust, their meat was yet in their mouths,

³¹ When the anger of God went up against them; and he slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

³² For all this, they sinned still, and believed not in his marvellous works;

¹⁶ He made streams flow from the stone; water rushing down like rivers!

¹⁷ But they repeatedly sinned against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ They deliberately provoked God by demanding the foods they longed for.

¹⁹ They insulted God by saying, “Can God provide food here in the desert?

²⁰ Yes, he can strike a rock so that water gushes out like flowing rivers, but can he give us bread? Can he supply his people with meat?”

²¹ When he heard this, the Lord became very angry, burning like fire against the descendants of Jacob, furious with the people of Israel,

²² for they didn't believe in God and didn't trust him to take care of them.

²³ Even so he commanded the skies above and the doors of heaven to open,

²⁴ and he made manna rain down on them to eat, giving them bread from heaven.

²⁵ Human beings ate the bread of angels; he sent them more than enough food.

²⁶ He sent the east wind blowing across the sky; by his power he drove the south wind.

²⁷ He rained down meat on them as plentiful as dust; birds as numerous as sand on a beach.

²⁸ He made them fall right in the middle of their camp, all around where they were living.

²⁹ They ate until they were full. He gave them the food they longed for.

³⁰ But before they satisfied their appetite, while the meat was still in their mouths,

³¹ God became angry with them and he killed their strongest men, striking them down in the prime of life.

³² Despite all this they went right on sinning. Despite the miracles, they refused to trust him.

¹⁶ He brought floods also out of the stonie rocke; so that hee made the waters to descend like the riuers.

¹⁷ Yet they sinned stil against him, and prouoked the Highest in the wildernesse,

¹⁸ And tempted God in their heartes in requiring meate for their lust.

¹⁹ They spake against God also, saying, Can God prepare a table in the wildernesse?

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rocke, that the water gushed out, and the streames ouerflowed: can hee giue bread also? or prepare flesh for his people?

²¹ Therefore the Lord heard and was angrie, and the fire was kindled in Iaakob, and also wrath came vpon Israel,

²² Because they beleeued not in God, and trusted not in his helpe.

²³ Yet he had comanded the clouds aboue, and had opened the doores of heauen,

²⁴ And had rained downe MAN vpon them for to eate, and had giuen them of the wheate of heauen.

²⁵ Man did eate the bread of Angels: hee sent them meate ynough.

²⁶ He caused the Eastwinde to passe in the heauen, and through his power he brought in the Southwinde.

²⁷ Hee rained flesh also vpon them as dust, and feathered foule as the sand of the sea.

²⁸ And hee made it fall in the middes of their campe euen round about their habitations.

²⁹ So they did eate and were well filled: for he gaue them their desire.

³⁰ They were not turned from their lust, but the meate was yet in their mouthes,

³¹ When the wrath of God came euen vpon them, and slew the strongest of them, and smote downe the chosen men in Israel.

³² For all this, they sinned stil, and beleeued not his wonderous woorkes.

¹⁶ He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet went they on still to sin against Him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ And they tried God in their heart by asking food for their craving.

¹⁹ Yea, they spoke against God; they said: 'Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, He smote the rock, that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; can He give bread also? or will He provide flesh for His people?'

²¹ Therefore the LORD heard, and was wroth; and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel;

²² Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in His salvation.

²³ And He commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven;

²⁴ And He caused manna to rain upon them for food, and gave them of the corn of heaven.

²⁵ Man did eat the bread of the mighty; He sent them provisions to the full.

²⁶ He caused the east wind to set forth in heaven; and by His power He brought on the south wind.

²⁷ He caused flesh also to rain upon them as the dust, and winged fowl as the sand of the seas;

²⁸ And He let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their dwellings.

²⁹ So they did eat, and were well filled; and He gave them that which they craved.

³⁰ They were not estranged from their craving, their food was yet in their mouths,

³¹ When the anger of God went up against them, and slew of the lustieth among them, and smote down the young men of Israel.

³² For all this they sinned still, and believed not in His wondrous works.

¹⁶ He brought streams also out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ And they sinned yet more against him By provoking the most High in the wilderness.

¹⁸ And they tempted God in their heart By asking meat for their lust.

¹⁹ Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, And the streams overflowed; Can he give bread also? Can he provide flesh for his people?

²¹ Therefore the Lord heard this, and was wroth: So a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also came up against Israel;

²² Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his salvation:

²³ Though he had commanded the clouds from above, And opened the doors of heaven,

²⁴ And had rained down manna upon them to eat, And had given them of the corn of heaven.

²⁵ Man did eat angels’ food: He sent them meat to the full.

²⁶ He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: And by his power he brought in the south wind.

²⁷ He rained flesh also upon them as dust, And feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:

²⁸ And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, Round about their habitations.

²⁹ So they did eat, and were well filled: For he gave them their own desire;

³⁰ They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

³¹ The wrath of God came upon them, And slew the fattest of them, And smote down the chosen men of Israel.

³² For all this they sinned still, And believed not for his wondrous works.

¹⁶ And he brought forth running streams out of the rock, and caused water to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ But they repeated to sin yet more against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ And they tempted God in their heart, by asking food for their desire.

¹⁹ Yea, they spoke against God: they said, Will God be able to set in order a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed: shall he also be able to give bread? or can he provide flesh for his people?

²¹ Therefore, when the Lord heard this, he became wroth: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also ascended against Israel,

²² Because they had not believed in God, and had not trusted in his salvation.

²³ Then he ordained the skies from above, and the doors of heaven he opened;

²⁴ And he let rain down upon them manna to eat, and the corn of heaven gave he unto them.

²⁵ Angels' bread did man eat: he sent them provision to satisfaction.

²⁶ He caused an east wind to pass along the heavens; and he led forth by his strength the south wind.

²⁷ And he let rain upon them flesh as plentiful as the dust, and winged birds like the sand of the sea;

²⁸ And he let them fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.

²⁹ And they ate, and were greatly satisfied, and what they longed for he brought unto them.

³⁰ They were not estranged from their longing, yet was their food in their mouth:

³¹ When the wrath of God ascended against them, and he slew some of the fattest of them, and the young men of Israel did he strike down.

³² With all this they sinned again, and believed not in his wonders.

¹⁶ From the rock he brought flowing streams, And made water to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet still they sinned against him, And provoked the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ They tempted God in their hearts, By asking food for their delight.

¹⁹ Yea, they spake against God, and said, “Can God spread a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold! he smote the rock, and the water flowed, And streams gushed forth: Is he also able to give bread? Can he provide flesh for his people?”

²¹ When, therefore, the LORD heard this, he was wroth: So a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger arose against Israel.

²² Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his aid.

²³ Yet he had commanded the clouds above, And had opened the doors of heaven;

²⁴ And had rained down upon them manna for food, And had given them the corn of heaven.

²⁵ Every one ate the food of princes; He sent them bread to the full.

²⁶ Then he caused a strong wind to blow in the heavens, And by his power he brought a south wind;

²⁷ He rained down flesh upon them as dust, And feathered fowls as the sand of the sea.

²⁸ He caused them to fall in the midst of their camp, Round about their habitations.

²⁹ So they did eat, and were filled; For he gave them their own desire.

³⁰ Their desire was not yet satisfied, And their meat was yet in their mouths,

³¹ When the wrath of God came upon them, And slew their strong men, And smote down the chosen men of Israel.

³² For all this they sinned still, And put no trust in his wondrous works.

¹⁶ He brought streams out of the rock, and made water run down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet they still went on sinning against him, they defied the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ They wilfully challenged God, demanding the food that they longed for.

¹⁹ “Is God able,” such was their challenge, “to spread in the desert a table?

²⁰ From the rock that he struck there gushed water, and torrents that overflowed; but can he also give bread, or provide his people with meat?”

²¹ When the Lord heard this, he was furious, and fire was kindled on Jacob, anger flared up against Israel.

²² For they put no trust in God, no confidence in his help.

²³ So he summoned the clouds above; and, opening the doors of heaven,

²⁴ he rained manna upon them for food, and grain of heaven he gave them.

²⁵ Everyone ate the bread of angels; he sent them food to the full.

²⁶ He launched the east wind in the heavens, and guided the south by his power.

²⁷ He rained meat upon them like dust, winged bird like the sand of the sea.

²⁸ In the midst of their camp he dropped it, all around their tents.

²⁹ They ate and were more than filled; he had brought them the thing they desired.

³⁰ But the thing they desired became loathsome: while their food was still in their mouths,

³¹ the wrath of God rose against them. He slew the stoutest amongst them, and laid low the young men of Israel.

³² Yet for all this they sinned yet more, and refused to believe in his wonders.

¹⁶ He brought streams out of the rock, and made water run down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet they still went on sinning against him, they defied the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ They willfully challenged God, demanding the food that they longed for.

¹⁹ “Is God able,” such was their challenge, “to spread in the desert a table?

²⁰ From the rock that he struck there gushed water, and torrents that overflowed; but can he also give bread, or provide his people with meat?”

²¹ When the Lord heard this, he was furious, and fire was kindled on Jacob, anger flared up against Israel.

²² For they put no trust in God, no confidence in his help.

²³ So he summoned the clouds above; and, opening the doors of heaven,

²⁴ he rained manna upon them for food, and grain of heaven he gave them.

²⁵ Everyone ate the bread of angels; he sent them food to the full.

²⁶ He launched the east wind in the heavens, and guided the south by his power.

²⁷ He rained meat upon them like dust, winged bird like the sand of the sea.

²⁸ In the midst of their camp he dropped it, all around their tents.

²⁹ They ate and were more than filled; he had brought them the thing they desired.

³⁰ But the thing they desired became loathsome: while their food was still in their mouths,

³¹ the wrath of God rose against them. He slew the stoutest among them, and laid low the young men of Israel.

³² Yet for all this they sinned yet more, and refused to believe in his wonders.

¹⁶ He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against haElyon the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

¹⁹ Yes, they spoke against God. They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”

²¹ Therefore Adonai sh'ma ·heard obeyed·, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob Supplanter, anger also went up against Israel God prevails,

²² because they didn’t believe in God, and didn’t trust in his yishu'ah ·salvation·.

²³ Yet he enjoined the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven.

²⁴ He rained down manna ·what is it· on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky.

²⁵ Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full.

²⁶ He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind.

²⁷ He rained also meat on them as the dust; winged birds as the sand of the seas.

²⁸ He let them fall in the middle of their camp, around their habitations.

²⁹ So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.

³⁰ They didn’t turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,

³¹ when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of their fattest, and struck down the young men of Israel God prevails.

³² For all this they still sinned, and didn’t believe in his wondrous works.

¹⁶ He made streams flow out of the rock and made the water flow like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet they continued to sin against him, rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.

¹⁸ They challenged God in their hearts by asking for food to satisfy their appetites.

¹⁹ They spoke against God; they said, “Can God really lay out a table for us in the wilderness?

²⁰ See, when he struck the rock, waters gushed out and streams overflowed. But can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”

²¹ When Yahweh heard this, he was angry; so his fire burned against Jacob, and his anger attacked Israel,

²² because they did not believe in God and did not trust in his salvation.

²³ Yet he commanded the skies above and opened the doors of the sky.

²⁴ He rained down manna for them to eat, and gave them the grain from heaven.

²⁵ People ate the bread of angels. He sent them food in abundance.

²⁶ He caused the east wind to blow in the sky, and by his power he guided the south wind.

²⁷ He rained down meat on them like dust, birds as numerous as the sands of the sea.

²⁸ They fell in the middle of their camp, all around their tents.

²⁹ So they ate and were full. He gave them what they craved.

³⁰ But they had not yet filled up; their food was still in their mouths.

³¹ Then God's anger attacked them and killed the strongest of them. He brought down the young men of Israel.

³² Despite this, they continued to sin and did not believe his wonderful deeds.

¹⁶ He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

¹⁹ Yes, they spoke against God. They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”

²¹ Therefore Yahweh heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,

²² because they didn’t believe in God, and didn’t trust in his salvation.

²³ Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven.

²⁴ He rained down manna on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky.

²⁵ Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full.

²⁶ He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind.

²⁷ He also rained meat on them as the dust, winged birds as the sand of the seas.

²⁸ He let them fall in the middle of their camp, around their habitations.

²⁹ So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.

³⁰ They didn’t turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,

³¹ when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of their strongest, and struck down the young men of Israel.

³² For all this they still sinned, and didn’t believe in his wondrous works.

¹⁶ He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

¹⁹ Yes, they spoke against God. They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”

²¹ Therefore the LORD heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,

³² For all this they still sinned, and didn’t believe in his wondrous works.

¹⁶ He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the Most High in the wilderness.

¹⁸ And they tempted God in their heart by asking food for their desire.

¹⁹ Yes, they spoke against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?

²¹ Therefore the LORD heard this , and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

²² Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

²³ Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

²⁴ And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.

²⁵ Man ate angels' food: he sent them food to the full.

²⁶ He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.

²⁷ He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:

²⁸ And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, around their habitations.

²⁹ So they ate, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;

³⁰ They were not estranged from their desire: but while their meat was yet in their mouths,

³¹ The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

³² For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

¹⁶ He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

³² For all this they still sinned, and didn’t believe in his wondrous works.

¹⁶ And he led water out of the stone; and he led forth waters as floods.

¹⁷ And they putted yet to do sin against him; they excited the high God into ire, in a place without water.

¹⁸ And they tempted God in their hearts; that they asked meats to their lives.

¹⁹ And they spake evil of God; they said, Whether God may make ready a board in desert?

²⁰ For he smote a stone, and waters flowed; and streams went out in abundance. Whether also he may give bread; either make ready a board to his people?

²¹ Therefore the Lord heard, and delayed; and fire was kindled in Jacob, and the ire of God ascended or went up on Israel.

²² For they believed not in God; neither hoped in his health.

²³ And he commanded to the clouds above; and he opened the gates of heaven.

²⁴ And he rained to them manna for to eat; and he gave to them bread of heaven.

²⁵ Man ate the bread of angels; he sent to them meats in abundance.

²⁶ He turned over the south wind from heaven; and he brought in by his virtue the west wind.

²⁷ And he rained fleshes as dust on them; and also volatiles feathered, as the gravel of the sea.

²⁸ And those felled in the midst of their castles or they fell in the middle of the tents of them; about the taber-nacles of them.

²⁹ And they ate, and were filled greatly, and he brought their desire to them;

³⁰ they were not defrauded of their desire. Yet their meats were in their mouth;

³¹ and the wrath of God ascended or went up on them. And he killed the fat men of them; and he hindered the chosen men of Israel.

³² In all these things they sinned yet; and believed not in the marvels of God.

¹⁶ And he led water out of the stone; and he led forth waters as floods. (Yea, he brought forth water out of that rock; and it came forth like a river.)

¹⁷ And they putted yet to do sin against him; they excited the high God into ire, in a place without water. (And still they sinned against him; they incited the Most High God to anger, in a place without water.)

¹⁸ And they tempted God in their hearts; that they asked meats to their lives. (And they tempted God in their hearts; by demanding food for their hunger.)

¹⁹ And they spake evil of God; they said, Whether God may make ready a board in desert? (And they spoke evil against God; they said, Can God truly prepare a table for us here in the wilderness?)

²⁰ For he smote a stone, and waters flowed; and streams went out in abundance. Whether also he may give bread; either make ready a board to his people? (For he struck a stone, and waters flowed; yea, streams went out in abundance. But can he also give bread, or food, to us? can he also prepare a table here in the wilderness for his people?)

²¹ Therefore the Lord heard, and delayed; and fire was kindled in Jacob, and the ire of God ascended on Israel. (And so the Lord heard them, and was angry; and fire was kindled against the people of Jacob, yea, God’s anger descended upon the people of Israel.)

²² For they believed not in God; neither hoped in his health. (For they did not believe in God; nor trusted in his salvation, or his deliverance.)

²³ And he commanded to the clouds above; and he opened the gates of heaven. (But then he commanded to the clouds above; and he opened the gates of the heavens.)

²⁴ And he rained to them manna for to eat; and he gave to them bread of heaven. (And he rained down manna for them to eat; yea, he gave them the bread of heaven.)

²⁵ Man ate the bread of angels; he sent to them meats in abundance (or he sent them an abundance of food).

²⁶ He turned over the south wind from heaven; and he brought in by his virtue the west wind. (He sent the south wind down from the heavens; and he brought in the west wind by his strength, or his power.)

²⁷ And he rained fleshes as dust on them; and also volatiles feathered, as the gravel of the sea. (And he rained down flesh upon them, like a dust storm; yea, as many feathered fowls as the sand of the sea.)

²⁸ And those felled in the midst of their castles; about the tabernacles of them. (And they fell in the midst of their camp; all about their tents.)

²⁹ And they ate, and were filled greatly, and he brought their desire to them; (And so they ate, and were greatly filled, for he had brought them the desire of their hearts;)

³⁰ they were not defrauded of their desire. Yet their meats were in their mouth; (but their desire, or their yearning, was not yet quenched. And so while the food were yet in their mouths;)

³¹ and the wrath of God ascended on them. And he killed the fat men of them; and he hindered the chosen men of Israel. (God’s anger descended upon them. And he killed their most stout-hearted men; yea, he struck down Israel’s chosen men.)

³² In all these things they sinned yet; and believed not in the marvels of God. (Yet in spite of all these things, they still sinned; and did not believe or and had no faith in God’s marvellous deeds.)

¹⁶ And bringeth out streams from a rock, And causeth waters to come down as rivers.

¹⁷ And they add still to sin against Him, To provoke the Most High in the dry place.

¹⁸ And they try God in their heart, To ask food for their lust.

¹⁹ And they speak against God — they said: 'Is God able to array a table in a wilderness?'

²⁰ Lo, He hath smitten a rock, And waters flow, yea, streams overflow. 'Also — bread is He able to give? Doth He prepare flesh for His people?'

²¹ Therefore hath Jehovah heard, And He sheweth Himself wroth, And fire hath been kindled against Jacob, And anger also hath gone up against Israel,

²² For they have not believed in God, Nor have they trusted in His salvation.

²³ And He commandeth clouds from above, Yea, doors of the heavens He hath opened.

²⁴ And He raineth on them manna to eat, Yea, corn of heaven He hath given to them.

²⁵ Food of the mighty hath each eaten, Venison He sent to them to satiety.

²⁶ He causeth an east wind to journey in the heavens, And leadeth by His strength a south wind,

²⁷ And He raineth on them flesh as dust, And as sand of the seas — winged fowl,

²⁸ And causeth it to fall in the midst of His camp, Round about His tabernacles.

²⁹ And they eat, and are greatly satisfied, And their desire He bringeth to them.

³⁰ They have not been estranged from their desire, Yet is their food in their mouth,

³¹ And the anger of God hath gone up against them, And He slayeth among their fat ones, And youths of Israel He caused to bend.

³² With all this they have sinned again, And have not believed in His wonders.
