Psalms 78:26-29 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

He caused an east wind to blow, &c. First an eastern, and afterward a southern wind. He rained flesh, &c., and feathered fowls like as the sand Hebrew, עו Š כנ Š, gnoph chanap, fowl of wing, or winged fowl; but God took away from them the use of their wings, and made them fall into the hands of the Israelites. And let it fall in the midst of their camp Hebrew, מחנהו, machanehu, his camp; that is, either Israel's camp, or God's camp; for, seeing Israel was God's people, and he dwelt among them, their camp was his camp. He gave them their own desire What they desired, both for quality and quantity.

28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.

29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
