"and gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and commandedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them." — Nehemiah 9:15 (ASV)

Bread from heaven. — A change of phrase, which our Lord consecrated forever (John 6:0).
