What does Nehemiah 9:20 mean?
Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct
them
In the knowledge of the laws delivered to them; the spirit of
prophecy, according to Ben Melech, and which Aben Ezra interprets
of the spirit put upon the seventy elders, ( Numbers
11:17 Numbers
11:25 ) ,
and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth;
all the while they were in the wilderness, until they came to
Canaan's land; called the Lord's manna, because prepared by him,
and given by him to them; a part or portion and gift from the
Lord, as Ben Melech, from whence it had its name, see ( Exodus 16:15
)
and gavest them water for their thirst;
which seems to have respect to the last rock stricken for them,
after their many provocations in the wilderness, ( Numbers
20:11 ) .
