“Can God spread a table in the desert?”

R. The Lord gave them bread from heaven.

and gave them heavenly bread.

R. The Lord gave them bread from heaven.

Man ate the bread of angels,
food he sent them in abundance.

and by his power brought on the south wind.

R. The Lord gave them bread from heaven.

And he rained meat upon them like dust,
and, like the sand of the sea, winged fowl,
Which fell in the midst of their camp
round about their tents.

R. The Lord gave them bread from heaven.
