Psalms 78:23 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:23

Though he had commanded the clouds from above
Which were round about him, his chariots, and the dust of his feet; and which were at his command to go here and there, and carry and let down provisions for his people, as they did:

and opened the doors of heaven;
as a large granary, from whence the manna, afterwards called the corn of heaven, was given out in great abundance, which is signified by opening the doors; see ( Malachi 3:10 ) .

Psalms 78:23 In-Context

21 Therefore Yahweh heard and he was very angry, and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and [his] anger also rose up against Israel,

22 because they did not believe God, and they did not trust his salvation.

23 Nevertheless, he commanded [the] skies above and opened [the] doors of heaven,

24 and rained down on them manna to eat and gave them the grain of heaven.

25 Humankind ate [the] bread of {angels}. He sent them food [enough] to be satisfied.
