Psalms 105:40

The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. HE BROUGHT QUAILS, AND SATISFIED THEM WITH THE BREAD OF HEAVEN - (; , "the grain of heaven ... angel's food;" .) On "satisfied," or filled them to repletion, cf. ; ; ....

24-45 As the believer commonly thrives best in his soul when under the cross; so the church also flourishes most in true holiness, and increases in number, while under persecution. Yet instruments shall be raised up for their deliverance, and plagues may be expected by persecutors. And see the special care God took of his people in the wilderness. All the benefits bestowed on Israel as a nation, were shadows of spiritual blessings with which we are blessed in Christ Jesus. Having redeemed us with his blood, restored our souls to holiness, and set us at liberty from Satan's bondage, he guides and guards us all the way. He satisfies our souls with the bread of heaven, and the water of life from the Rock of salvation, and will bring us safely to heaven. He redeems his servants from all iniquity, and purifies them unto himself, to be a peculiar people, zealous of good works...

THE PEOPLE ASKED, AND HE BROUGHT QUAILS - See the notes at Psalms 78:26. AND SATISFIED THEM WITH THE BREAD OF HEAVEN - manna, sent down, as it were, from heaven. In Psalms 78:25, it is called “angels’ food.” See the notes at that verse....

EXPOSITION This is sometimes called a "Hallelujah psalm," since it ends with that phrase. It is a song of praise to God for his dealings with his people, resembling in its general character Psalms 78:1. The opening passage is nearly identical with 1 Chronicles 16:8, and is thought to have been the original from which that passage was taken (Hengstenberg, Cheyne). The first six verse are an exhortation to praise, and constitute the "introduction." The remainder is an account of God's mercies to Israel as a nation, traced historically from the time of the covenant with Abraham to the occupation of the land of Canaan. The "introduction" forms a strophe by itself. It is usual to divide the historical portion into strophes; but this can only be done arbitrarily, there being no r

THE PEOPLE ASKED, AND HE BROUGHT QUAILS,.... The Targum is, "they asked flesh, and he brought quails,'' or pheasants; some render it partridges, others locusts: that is, the people of Israel asked flesh of the Lord, and he gave them quails; which he did twice, first at the same time the manna was first given, Exodus 16:13, and some years after that a second time, when the wrath of God came upon them and slew them while their meat was in their mouths, Numbers 11:31, it is the first time that is here referred to, since it is mentioned among the benefits and blessings bestowed upon them; this was typical of the spiritual meat believers eat of, even the flesh of Christ, whose flesh is meat indeed. The quail was a fat and fleshy bird, delicious food, sent from

Psalms 105 AND 106 The Memories of the Past The last two Psalms of this fourth section review the entire history of Israel up to the time of the judges. It is the story of God's faithfulness and mercy, and the story of their shameful failure and apostasy. He is ever mindful of His covenant, and that covenant is mentioned first, as the foundation of all. Then how He watched over them. The story of Joseph is mentioned, followed by the rehearsal of the deliverance out of Egypt. Psalms 106:1 is couched in words of confession, showing their failure all the way, sinning, forgetting, lusting, unbelieving and disobedient. Only infinite mercy and grace could save such a people. Prophetically these Psalms express the repentance and national confession of Israel, when the Lord has saved them. Then with a new

PSALMS 105 DESCRIPTIVE TITLE A Hymn of Praise to Jehovah for Giving Israel a Covenant Land in which to Observe His Law. ANALYSIS The Main Design of this Psalm is clearly to Endear the Land to the People for whom it was designed, that therein they should Observe Jehovah's Law. To attain this end the History of their First Fathers is traced as Circling Round this Land, and then the Steps are Traced by which the Nation was Brought Into the Land to Dwell There. (P.R.I.) Praise ye Yah![404] [404] That is, Public Reader's Invitation. There can hardly be a doubt, says Ginsburg, that this [a sentence and not a mere single word] exhibits the primitive reading. Ginsburg further expresses the confident conclusion that the phrase was originally the prelector's [the public reader'S] invitation to the worshipers to join in the public responses.Gn. Intro., pp. 375-81. H

This Ps. and the following one form a closely connected pair, and may be looked on as by the same author. From the closing vv. of Psalms 106 it appears that they were written after the first return from exile had taken place, but while many Israelites were still scattered among the heathen. Both Pss. are partly wrought into the composite poem in 1 Chronicles 16; Psalms 105 is a song of thanksgiving, recalling with gratitude God's covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Psalms 105:8), His guidance of Israel into Egypt, with special reference to the history of Joseph ...
