Psalms 78:22
20 When He struck the rock, water gushed out and torrents raged. But can He also give bread or supply His people with meat?”
21 Therefore the LORD heard and was filled with wrath; so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and His anger flared against Israel,
because they did not believe God or rely on His salvation.
23 Yet He commanded the clouds above and opened the doors of the heavens.
24 He rained down manna for them to eat; He gave them grain from heaven.
