Psalms 78:16

“To him which led his people through the wilderness, etc.] Where there was no path. This the Lord did by going before them in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night, to show them the way in which they should go, (<021321>Exodus 13:21,22); (see <197814>Psalm 78:14); for his mercy [endureth] for ever; among the manifold mercies of God, shown to Israel in the wilderness, this is one taken notice of by Nehemiah, (<160919>Nehemiah 9:19); that the pillar of cloud and fire, to direct them, never departed from them while in it: and this act of “leading” them not only includes the guidance of them in the way, but the provision made for them; of water out of the rock, and of manna…”

“He brought streams also out of the rock ... - literally, “flowings.” The waters were poured out in an over-flowing stream. Those streams continued to flow, thus constituting a continued proof of the presence of God. See this fully explained in the notes at 1 Corinthians 10:4. return to 'Top of Page'”

“Streams - Which miraculously followed them in all their travels, even to the borders of Canaan. Psalms 78:17”
