Psalms 105:40 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

He speaks of the first giving of quails, Exodus 16:13, which God gave them as a refreshment, notwithstanding their sin in desiring them, which he graciously pardoned; and not of that second giving of quails, which God gave them in judgment, Num 11, and therefore would not have been numbered here amongst God's favours vouchsafed to them. With the bread of heaven; with manna which came out of the air, which is commonly called heaven.

Psalms 105:40

40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
