78:18 They willfully challenged God 1
by asking for food to satisfy their appetite.
78:26 He brought the east wind through the sky,
and by his strength led forth the south wind.
78:27 He rained down meat on them like dust,
birds as numerous as the sand on the seashores. 2
78:28 He caused them to fall right in the middle of their camp,
all around their homes.
1 tn Heb “and they tested God in their heart.” The “heart” is viewed here as the center of their volition.
2 tn Heb “and like the sand of the seas winged birds.”
