John Gill, on Neh 9:15

John Gill · 1697–1771
Neh 9:15 · Douay-Rheims
“And thou gavest them bread from heaven in their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock in their thirst, and thou saidst to them that they should go in, and possess the land, upon which thou hadst lifted up thy hand to give it them.”
On this verse:
“And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger,.... To satisfy that, meaning the manna, Exo 16:3 and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock, for their thirst; to quench it; this was done both quickly after they came out of the land of Egypt, and a little before their entrance into the land of Canaan, see Exo 17:6 and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them; which oath was made to them and to their fathers also, see Num 14:30.”
