Psalm 105:40-41 ASV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 105:25-45

After the history of the patriarchs follows here the history of the people of Israel, when they grew into a nation. I. Their affliction in Egypt (Ps. 105:25): He turned the heart of the Egyptians, who had protected them, to hate them and deal subtilely with them. God's goodness to his people exasperated the Egyptians against them; and, though their old antipathy to the Hebrews (which we read of Gen. 43:32; 46:34) was laid asleep for a while, yet now it revived with more violence than ever:... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 105:40

The people asked, and he brought quails ,.... The Targum is, "they asked flesh, and he brought quails,' or pheasants; some render it partridges, others locusts: that is, the people of Israel asked flesh of the Lord, and he gave them quails; which he did twice, first at the same time the manna was first given, Exodus 16:13 , and some years after that a second time, when the wrath of God came upon them and slew them while their meat was in their mouths, Numbers 11:31 , it is the first... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 105:41

He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out ,.... That is, God opened the rock, who before is said to spread the cloud, and bring the quails, for it was a miraculous affair; or Moses, by divine orders, which was done by smiting it, when waters flowed out in great abundance, sufficient to give drink to men and beasts, and which continued, Exodus 17:6 . This was typical of Christ the Rock, 1 Corinthians 10:4 , and of the opening of his side, from whence flowed blood and water, John... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 105:41

He opened the rock, and the waters rushed out - See the note on Exodus 17:6 , to which I can now add, that a piece of this rock, broken off by the hand of my nephew, E. S. A. Clarke, in the course of the present year [1822,] now lies before me. It is fine granite; and so well distinguished as a granite, that the feldt-spar, the mica, and the quartz, of which granite is composed, appear very distinctly. It is worthy of remark, that, as granite is supposed, in the most accredited systems of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 105:1-45

The "introduction" forms a strophe by itself. It is usual to divide the historical portion into strophes; but this can only be done arbitrarily, there being no really marked divisions. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 105:1-45

The testimony of history. God reveals himself in many ways; of these one is found in human history. All history may be studied, that we may understand his Divine thought and purpose; but more especially sacred history, his dealings with his ancient people. The psalmist is continually returning to this as a source of striking and convincing illustration. Among other lessons brought out by this psalm are the following:— I. HIS FAITHFULNESS . ( Psalms 105:8-11 , Psalms 105:42-44 ... read more

He watching over Israel slumbers not nor sleeps. I. A BLESSED RETROSPECT . 1 . He knows it is blessed, because, ere the psalmist sets it down, he summons, in intensely earnest, varied, and emphatic wag, all people to give thanks unto the Lord. 2 . And he tells them wherefore they should hearken to his Word— because the Lord "hath remembered his covenant forever," etc. ( Psalms 105:8 ). 3 . Then comes the covenant history. He tells what the covenant was ( Psalms... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 105:40

The people asked, and he brought quails; literally, they asked (comp. Exodus 16:3 , Exodus 16:13 ; Numbers 11:31 ). And satisfied them with the bread of heaven. The "bread of heaven" is the manna, which was given to the Israelites continuously from their first encampment in the wilderness of Sin ( Exodus 16:14 , Exodus 16:15 ) to their first Passover in Canaan ( Joshua 5:12 ). The quails seem to have been given only twice. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 105:40-41

The sin of trying to make terms with God. "The people asked, and he brought quails." The sin of this does not immediately strike the reader. It is not said that the people asked for quails. What we are to understand is, that God was graciously and wonderfully providing their staple food for the people: manna food from the skies, spring waters from the rocks. But the people were discontented with what God, in his infinite wisdom and love, provided, and wanted to arrange with God what he... read more

He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out (see Exodus 17:5 , Exodus 17:6 , and Numbers 20:8-11 ). They ran in the dry places like a river. A poetical exaggeration of Numbers 20:11 , "The water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also." read more
