Phrase of Scripture   Correlating Passages TSK Help

he gave   Psa 78:29-31; Num 11:31-34; Isa 10:16; Isa 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 zeraön, ""nausea or loathing,"" which appears to be supported by several ancient versions, and by Num 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."""
