23But he gave a command to the clouds above

and opened the doors of heaven.

24He rained manna down on them to eat;

he gave them grain from heaven.

25So they ate the bread of angels.

He sent them all the food they could eat.

26He sent the east wind from heaven

and led the south wind by his power.

27He rained meat on them like dust.

The birds were as many as the sand of the sea.

28He made the birds fall inside the camp,

all around the tents.

29So the people ate and became very full.

God had given them what they wanted.

and opened the doors of heaven,

and he rained down on them manna to eat

and gave them the grain of heaven.

Man ate of the bread of the angels;

he sent them food in abundance.

He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens,

he let them fall in the midst of their camp,

all around their dwellings.

And they ate and were well filled,

for he gave them what they craved.

all around their tents.

They ate till they were gorged—

he had given them what they craved.

And opened the doors of heaven,

And had rained down manna upon them to eat,

And had given them of the corn of heaven.

Man did eat angels’ food:

He sent them meat to the full.

He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven:

And by his power he brought in the south wind.

He rained flesh also upon them as dust,

And feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:

And he let it fall in the midst of their camp,

Round about their habitations.

So they did eat, and were well filled:

For he gave them their own desire;
