39 The Lord spread out his cloud like a blanket. He used his column of fire to give his people light at night.
40 They asked for food, and he sent them quail. He also gave them plenty of bread from heaven.
41 He split the rock, and water came bubbling out. A river began flowing in the desert!
42 The Lord remembered his holy promise that he had made to his servant Abraham.
43 He brought his people out of Egypt. They came out rejoicing and singing their happy songs!
44 Then he gave his people the lands of other nations. His people got what others had worked for.
