Psaume 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 ) .

Psaume 78:23 In-Context

21 L'Eternel entendit, et il fut irrité; Un feu s'alluma contre Jacob, Et la colère s'éleva contre Israël,
22 Parce qu'ils ne crurent pas en Dieu, Parce qu'ils n'eurent pas confiance dans son secours.
23 Il commanda aux nuages d'en haut, Et il ouvrit les portes des cieux;
24 Il fit pleuvoir sur eux la manne pour nourriture, Il leur donna le blé du ciel.
25 Ils mangèrent tous le pain des grands, Il leur envoya de la nourriture à satiété.
