Commentary on Nehemiah 9:15

Theological / Devotional

Bread from heaven. The manna has already been called the “bread of heaven” (Psalm 105:40), or the “corn of heaven” (Psalm 78:24). Now for the first time it is called “bread from heaven” — a phrase familiar to Christians by its use in John 6:32, 51, 58. For the provision of manna and of water from the rock for the support of Israel during their journey through the wilderness on the way to Canaan, see Exodus 16:4, 10-35; 17:6; Numbers 20:8.
