| Wisdom 16:20 | *Instead of which things, thou didst feed thy people with the food of angels, and gavest them bread from heaven, prepared without labour; having in it all that is delicious, and the sweetness of every taste. Exodus 16:14.; Numbers 11:7.; Psalm 77:25.; John 6:31. | Angels. See Exodus xvi. (Worthington) --- If angels stood in need of food, they could have nothing more delicious. So water is styled honey, to denote its excellence, Psalm 77:25., Leviticus 20:24., and Joel 3:18. --- Taste. These expressions are figurative. (Calmet) |
