Contextual Overview

⁹ The men of Ephraim had bows for weapons, but they ran away on the day of battle. ¹⁰ They didn't keep their agreement with God and refused to live by his teachings. ¹¹ They forgot what he had done and the miracles he had shown them. ¹² He did miracles while their ancestors watched, in the fields of Zoan in Egypt. ¹³ He divided the Red Sea and led them through. He made the water stand up like a wall. ¹⁴ He led them with a cloud by day and by the light of a fire by night. ¹⁵ He split the rocks in the desert and gave them more than enough water, as if from the deep ocean. ¹⁶ He brought streams out of the rock and caused water to flow down like rivers. ¹⁷ But the people continued to sin against him; in the desert they turned against God Most High. ¹⁸ They decided to test God by asking for the food they wanted.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Though he had commanded the clouds from above,.... Which were round about him, his chariots, and the dust of his feet; and which were at his command to go here and there, and carry and let down provisions for his people, as they did:

and opened the doors of heaven; as a large granary, from whence the manna, afterwards called the corn of heaven, was given out in great abundance, which is signified by opening the doors; see Malachi 3:10.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Though he had commanded the clouds from above - Though he had showed that he had absolute control over the clouds, and had only to command them and they would furnish rain in abundance. Compare the notes at Isaiah 5:6.

And opened the doors of heaven - As he had done at the deluge, Genesis 7:11. The idea is, that he had rained down manna upon them in such abundance that it might be compared with the waters that had been sent down at the deluge.
