Psalm 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 ) .

Psalm 78:23 In-Context

21 Therefore the LORD heard this and was wroth, so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel

22 because they had not believed God, nor had they trusted in his saving health;

23 and he commanded the clouds of above and opened the doors of the heavens

24 and caused manna to rain upon them to eat and gave them wheat of the heavens.

25 Man did eat the food of the strong; he sent them food to the full.
