made a covenant with Jacob, and gave Israel a law: which he
commanded our forefathers to teach their children;

6 That their posterity might know it: and the children which were
yet unborn;

7 To the intent that when they came up: they might shew their
children the same;

8 That they might put their trust in God: and not to forget the
works of God, but to keep his commandments;

9 And not to be as their forefathers, a faithless and stubborn
generation: a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose
spirit cleaveth not stedfastly unto God;

10 Like as the children of Ephraim: who being harnessed, and
carrying bows, turned themselves back in the day of battle.

11 They kept not the covenant of God: and would not walk in his
law;

12 But forgat what he had done: and the wonderful works that he had

flesh for his people?

22 When the Lord heard this, he was wroth: so the fire was kindled
in Jacob, and there came up heavy displeasure against Israel;

23 Because they believed not in God: and put not their trust in
his help.

24 So he commanded the clouds above: and opened the doors of heaven.

25 He rained down manna also upon them for to eat: and gave them
food from heaven.

26 So man did eat angels food: for he sent them meat enough.

27 He caused the east-wind to blow under heaven: and through his
power he brought in the south-west-wind.

28 He rained flesh upon them as thick as dust: and feathered fowls
like as the sand of the sea.

29 He let it fall among their tents: even round about thei
