psalm 78:22 · KJV
Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
