19 donec veniret verbum eius. Eloquium Domini inflammavit eum:
Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
20 misit rex, et solvit eum; princeps populorum, et dimisit eum.

[The people] asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 Dirupit petram, et fluxerunt aquæ: abierunt in sicco flumina;
