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 them, he was very angry. His anger was like fire to the people of Jacob; his anger grew against the people of Israel.

22 They had not believed God and had not trusted him to save them.

23 But he gave a command to the clouds above and opened the doors of heaven.

24 He rained manna down on them to eat; he gave them grain from heaven.

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