He cleft rocks in the wilderness :
and gave them drink in abundance as from springs of water.
He brought streams out of the rock :
and caused the waters to flow down like rivers.
But for all this they sinned yet more against him :
and rebelled against the Most High in the desert.
They wilfully put God to the test :
and demanded food for their appetite.
They spoke against God, and said :
Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
He indeed struck the rock,
so that the waters gushed and the streams overflowed :
but can he also give bread, or provide meat for his people?
When the Lord heard it he was angry,
and a fire was kindled against Jacob :
his wrath blazed against Israel.
He rained down manna for them to eat :
and gave them the grain of heaven.
So men ate the bread of angels :
and he sent them food in abundance.
He stirred up the south east wind in the heavens :
and guided it by his power.
