23Though he had commanded the clouds from above,

And ropened the doors of heaven,

24And had srained down manna upon them to eat,

And had given them of tthe corn of heaven.

25||Man did eat uangels’ food:

He sent them meat wto the full.

26He caused an east wind †to blow in the heaven:

And by his power he xbrought in the south wind.

27He rained flesh also upon them yas dust,

And †feathered fowls like zas the sand of the sea:

28aAnd he let it fall in the midst of their camp,

Round about their habitations.

29bSo they did eat, and were well filled:

For he gave them their own cdesire;

And they ate and were well filled,

for he gave them what they craved.
