Context of Psalms 78:22
20Yes, he struck a rock and water flowed out, streams gushed forth. But can he also give us food? Will he provide meat for his people?” 21When the Lord heard this, he was furious. A fire broke out against Jacob, and his anger flared up against Israel, because they did not have faith in God, and did not trust his ability to deliver them. 23He gave a command to the clouds above, and opened the doors in the sky. 24He rained down manna for them to eat; he gave them the grain of heaven.
