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

And had rained down manna upon them to eat,.... So called, either from מנה, "manah", which signifies to prepare, appoint, and distribute, because this was food prepared of God for the Israelites without them, and was their provision, their appointed portion, and which was daily distributed to them in measure; or from the words

מן הו, "man hu", what is it? which they used at first sight of the manna, they not knowing what it was, and hence called it "man"; or "manna"; this the Lord rained down from heaven, as he promised he would, that they might have food to eat; see Exodus 16:4

and had given them of the corn of heaven; bread corn springs out of the earth, but this was corn from heaven, very unusual and wonderful; this greatly aggravated the unbelief of the Israelites, and shows their great ingratitude, that after all this they should disbelieve the Lord, and not trust in his salvation; the manna was a type of Christ, who is called the hidden manna, 1 Corinthians 10:3,

1 Corinthians 10:3- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 78:24. The corn of heaven. — The manna. It fell about their camp in the form of seeds; and as it appeared to come down from the clouds, it was not improperly termed heavenly corn, or heavenly grain, דגן שמים degan shamayim. The word shamayim is frequently taken to express the atmosphere.
