21 When the Lord heard this,he was angry and furiouswith Jacob's descendants,the people of Israel.
22 They had refused to trust him,and they had doubtedhis saving power.
23 But God gave a commandto the clouds,and he opened the doorsin the skies.
24 From heaven he sent grainthat they called manna.
25 He gave them more than enough,and each one of them atethis special food.
26 God's mighty powerbrought a strong windfrom the south-east,
27 and it brought birdsthat covered the ground,like sand on the beach.
