He sent them more than enough to eat. 26 He brought the east wind through the sky, and by his strength led forth the south wind. 27 He rained down meat on them like dust, birds as numerous as the sand on the seashores. 28 He caused them to fall right in the middle of their camp, all around their homes. 29 They ate until they were beyond full; he gave them what they desired. 30 They were not yet filled up, their food was still in their mouths, 31 when the anger of God flared up against them. He killed some of the strongest of them; he brought the young men of Israel to their knees.
