Psalms 78:24

“And hath redeemed us from our enemies, etc.] Temporal enemies, tyrants, and oppressors: and spiritual ones, sin, Satan, the world, the law, death, and hell; for his mercy [endureth] for ever; as is clearly seen in redemption by Jesus Christ, where mercy and truth have met together; and which is a distinguishing mercy to the sons of men, not granted to angels.”

“And had rained down manna upon them to eat - Exodus 16:4-5, Exodus 16:14; Numbers 11:7-9. Compare the notes at John 6:31. And had given them of the corn of heaven - Food that seemed to come down from heaven. The reference here is to the manna, and it is called corn in the sense that it was food, or that it supplied the place of grain. It may also have been called corn from its resemblance to grain. See Exodus 16:31. return to 'Top of Page'”

“had rained: Psa 68:9, Psa 105:40; Exo 16:4, Exo 16:14; Deu 8:3; Neh 9:15, Neh 9:20; John 6:31-71; Co1 10:3 the corn of heaven: The manna fell about their camp in the form of seeds; and as it appeared to come down from the clouds, it was not improperly termed degan shamayim, the corn of heaven or heavenly grain. See note on Exo 16:22, and see note on Psa 78:31. Psalms 78:25”
