He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
Ver. 26. He caused an east wind to blow] Pergere, to go, to pass away, and to give place to the south wind.
And by his power he brought in the south wind] That it might bring in the quails. Now Pliny writeth (lib. 10, c. 23), that quails, though they love to fly with the wind, because of their heavy bodies and small strength, yet not with the south wind, because it is moist, and so more heavy than the north wind, which therefore they rather delight in. And if this be true, here is another miracle, saith an expositor, that these quails were brought in by that wind, which, when it bloweth, they commonly rest and hide themselves.
