Psalms 78:12-15 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Marvellous things did he in the field That is, in the territory or jurisdiction, not excluding the city itself; of Zoan An ancient and eminent city of Egypt. In the day-time he led them with a cloud Which afforded them much comfort, both as a shadow from the scorching heat of the climate and season, and as a companion and director in their journey. He clave the rocks He uses the plural number, because it was twice done, once in Rephidim, Exodus 17:6, and again in Kadesh, Numbers 20:1; Numbers 20:11. And gave them drink as out of the great depths

In great abundance.

Psalms 78:12-15

12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.

14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.

15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
