And a wind going out from the Lord, taking quails up beyond the sea brought them, and cast them into the camp for the space of one day's journey, on every side of the camp round about, and they flew in the air two cubits high above the ground.
וְר֜וּחַ נָסַ֣ע ׀ מֵאֵ֣ת יְהוָ֗ה וַיָּ֣גָז שַׂלְוִים֮ מִן־הַיָּם֒ וַיִּטֹּ֨שׁ עַל־הַֽמַּחֲנֶ֜ה כְּדֶ֧רֶךְ י֣וֹם כֹּ֗ה וּכְדֶ֤רֶךְ יוֹם֙ כֹּ֔ה סְבִיב֖וֹת הַֽמַּחֲנֶ֑ה וּכְאַמָּתַ֖יִם עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הָאָֽרֶץ׃
2 Church Fathers comment on this verse
Afterward, in response to the desires of those who mourned, He granted them krastels. Although God provides these krastels, He does not endorse their desires; instead, He confirms through these miraculous acts that nothing is beyond His ability. Glaphers on Exodus. Regarding the manna and the krastels.
God, in granting people their wishes, instructs them on the folly of those desires. He sends a swarm of birds that soar nearly to the ground, descending in flocks upon the army. The ease of capturing them fulfills their craving for meat, yet their excessive indulgence transforms their bodies into harmful substances, leading ultimately to illness and demise. This experience served as a profound lesson for them and those who witnessed it, imparting wisdom to the people.
