Nehemiah 9:15 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 9:15

And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger
To satisfy that, meaning the manna, ( Exodus 16:3 Exodus 16:4 )

and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock, for their thirst;
to quench it; this was done both quickly after they came out of the land of Egypt, and a little before their entrance into the land of Canaan, see ( Exodus 17:6 ) ( Numbers 20:8 Numbers 20:11 )

and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land
which thou hadst sworn to give them;
which oath was made to them and to their fathers also, see ( Numbers 14:30 ) ( Deuteronomy 1:8 ) .

Nehemiah 9:15 In-Context

13 You came down also on Mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them right ordinances and true laws, good statutes and commandments,

14 and mad known to them your holy Sabbath, and commanded them commandments, and statutes, and a law, by Moses your servant,

15 and gave them bread from the sky for their hunger, and brought forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and commanded those who they should go in to possess the land which you had sworn to give them.

16 But they and our fathers dealt proudly and hardened their neck, and didn't listen to your commandments,

17 and refused to obey, neither were mindful of your wonders that you did among them, but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and didn't forsake them.
