26 He in the Heavens then did cause ‖ an Eastern wind to blow; ‖ and by His mighty power He did ‖ bring in a Southern wind. ‖
27 He did rain down upon them Flesh ‖ in plenty like the dust; ‖ and like the Sand that bounds the Seas ‖ a Fowl that had a wing. ‖
28 And in the middest of their Camps ‖ He caused it to fall; ‖ yea, and in the whole circuit of ‖ their Habitations there. ‖
29 So they did eat thereof, and they ‖ were well replenished; ‖ and He did bring to them the thing ‖ that was their own desire. ‖
