| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The people asked, and he brought quails - See the notes at Psa 78:26-29.
And satisfied them with the bread of heaven - manna, sent down, as it were, from heaven. In Psa 78:25, it is called "angels' food." See the notes at that verse. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Quails - He speaks of the first giving of quails, Exo 16:13, which God gave them as a refreshment, notwithstanding their sin in desiring them, which he graciously pardoned. Bread - With manna which came out of the air, commonly called heaven. |
25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
13 And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
