Psalms 78:25

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

Key Reflection

In the wilderness, God provided sustenance for the Israelites through manna, a miraculous food that appeared each morning as flakes of fine, bread-like substance on the ground. This divine provision was both a practical solution to their hunger and a continual reminder of God’s care and faithfulness, especially after their grumbling and tests of God during their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Man did eat angels’ food -Food that came from heaven; food so directly and manifestly from heaven that it might be supposed to be the same kind that was eaten there, and that had now been sent down by a special miracle for man; food so delicate and so free from the ordinary coarse properties of food, that it might be supposed to be such as angels feed on. The word rendered “angels” -אביר'abbı̂yr- means properly “strong, mighty,” and may be applied to people in general,Judges 5:22;Lamentations 1:15;Jeremiah 46:15; to animals,Psalms 22:13(“bulls of Bashan”); to princes,Psalms 68:31; or to nobles,Job 24:22.
