Can He give bread also? Can He provide meat for His people?|" 21Therefore the LORD heard this and was furious; So a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also came up against Israel, 22Because they did not believe in God, And did not trust in His salvation. 23Yet He had commanded the clouds above, And opened the doors of heaven, 24Had rained down manna on them to eat, And given them of the bread of heaven.
