Therefore°
the LORD°
heard°°
[this], and was wroth:°°
so a fire°

78:22
Because°
they believed°°
not°

Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven; |
|
78:23
Though he had commanded°°
the clouds°
from above,°°
and opened°°
the doors°
of heaven,° |

78:27
He rained°°
flesh°
also upon°
them as dust,°
and feathered°
fowls°
like as the sand°

78:39
For he remembered°°
that°
they°

And smote°°
all°
the firstborn°
in Egypt;°
the chief°
