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 When the LORD heard what they said, he was very angry. His anger broke out like fire against the people of Jacob. He became very angry with Israel.

22 That was because they didn't believe in God. They didn't trust in his power to save them.

23 But he gave a command to the skies above. He opened the doors of the heavens.

24 He rained down manna for the people to eat. He gave them the grain of heaven.

25 Mere men ate the bread of angels. He sent them all of the food they could eat.
