Psalms 105:38

Egypt

36 Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.

37 He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.

Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.

39 He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.

40 They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
