Psalms 78:17-42
asking ... food <07592 0400> [by asking meat.]
insulted <01696> [Yea.]
God ... able <03201 0410> [Can God.]

command <06680> [Though.]
opened <06605> [opened.]
rained <04305> [had rained.]
grain ... heaven <08064 01715> [the corn of heaven.]
The manna fell about their camp in the form of seeds; and as it appeared to come down from the clouds, it was not improperly termed {degan shamayim,} the corn of heaven or heavenly grain. See notes on Ex 16:22, 31.
Man <0376> [Man, etc.]
Or, Every one did eat the bread of the mighty. {Lechem abbeerim,} "bread of the mighty:"--they ate such food as could only be expected at the tables of the rich and great;--the best, the most delicate food. Or, it might be so called because it rendered the people healthy and vigorous, and fit for their marches.

God .... protector ...... God <0410 0430 06697> [God was.]
sovereign <05945> [the high.]
{Ail ‚lyon go„lom,} "the strong God, the Most High, their redeemer," or kinsman: that one who possessed the right of redemption; the nearest akin to him who had forfeited his inheritance, as the word originally means; and hence is used for a redeemer; and here denotes Him who redeemed them from Egyptian bondage.
deliverer <01350> [their redeemer.]
deceived <06601> [Nevertheless.]
lied <03576> [lied.]
<03820> [their heart.]

often <07235> [many.]
stir <05782> [did not.]
remembered <02142> [For he.]
wind <07307> [a wind.]
Or, as the Hebrew {roo„ch holaich welo yashoov} may be rendered, "the spirit goeth away and returneth not again." To this purpose the Arabic, "He remembered that they were flesh; and a spirit which when it departs, returneth not again." The human being is composed of flesh and spirit, or body and soul: these are easily separated, and when separated, the body turns to dust, and the spirit returns no more to animate the body in a state of probation.
