78:25 Man ate the food of the mighty ones. 1
He sent them more than enough to eat. 2
105:26 He sent his servant Moses,
and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
105:28 He made it dark; 3
they did not disobey his orders. 4
135:9 He performed awesome deeds 5 and acts of judgment 6
in your midst, O Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his servants.
1 sn Because of the reference to “heaven” in the preceding verse, it is likely that mighty ones refers here to the angels of heaven. The LXX translates “angels” here, as do a number of modern translations (NEB, NIV, NRSV).
2 tn Heb “provision he sent to them to satisfaction.”
3 tn Heb “he sent darkness and made it dark.”
4 tn Heb “they did not rebel against his words.” Apparently this refers to Moses and Aaron, who obediently carried out God’s orders.
5 tn Or “signs” (see Ps 65:8).
6 tn Or “portents”; “omens” (see Ps 71:7). The Egyptian plagues are alluded to here.
