Psalms 78:12-25

12Marvellous thingsH6382 didH6213 he in the sightH5048 of their fathersH1, in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814.

13He dividedH1234 the seaH3220, and caused them to pass throughH5674; and he made the watersH4325 to standH5324 as an heapH5067.

14In the daytimeH3119 also he ledH5148 them with a cloudH6051, and all the nightH3915 with a lightH216 of fireH784.

15He claveH1234 the rocksH6697 in the wildernessH4057, and gave them drinkH8248 as out of the greatH7227 depthsH8415.

16He broughtH3318 streamsH5140 also out of the rockH5553, and caused watersH4325 to run downH3381 like riversH5104.

17And they sinnedH2398 yet moreH3254 against him by provokingH4784 the most HighH5945 in the wildernessH6723.

18And they temptedH5254 GodH410 in their heartH3824 by askingH7592 meatH400 for their lustH5315.

19Yea, they spakeH1696 against GodH430; they saidH559, CanH3201 GodH410 furnishH6186 a tableH7979 in the wildernessH4057?1

20Behold, he smoteH5221 the rockH6697, that the watersH4325 gushed outH2100, and the streamsH5158 overflowedH7857; canH3201 he giveH5414 breadH3899 also? canH3201 he provideH3559 fleshH7607 for his peopleH5971?

21Therefore YhwhH3068 heardH8085 this, and was wrothH5674: so a fireH784 was kindledH5400 against JacobH3290, and angerH639 also came upH5927 against IsraelH3478;

22Because they believedH539 not in GodH430, and trustedH982 not in his salvationH3444:

23Though he had commandedH6680 the cloudsH7834 from aboveH4605, and openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of heavenH8064,

24And had rained downH4305 mannaH4478 upon them to eatH398, and had givenH5414 them of the grainH1715 of heavenH8064.

25ManH376 did eatH398 angels’H47 foodH3899: he sentH7971 them meatH6720 to the fullH7648.2
