* he gave.
78:29-31 Nu 11:31-34 Isa 10:16 24:16
* but sent.
They despised the manna, calling it light or innutritive food.
God gave them flesh as they desired, but no blessing
accompanied it; and, in consequence, they did not fatten, but
grew lean upon it; and many, surfeited by excess, died of
disease. Instead of {razon,} "leanness," however, Bp. Lowth
supposes we should read {zera(946e),} "nausea or loathing," which
appears to be supported by several ancient versions, and by Nu
11:20, where this portion of the history of the Israelites is
recorded, and where the word {zara} is used, and rendered, "it
be loathsome."
