Psalms 105:38–42 · Berean Standard Bible

38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.

39 He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.

40 They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

41 He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.

42 For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.
