This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
defence. Hebrew = shadow. Note Figure of speech Ellipsis (App-6.) Literally "they [are] like our bread (= manna), their shadow hath turned aside from off them.". The manna when out of the shade melted, though hard (Compare Num_11:8 and Exo_16:21): so the hearts of their enemies would melt away, not having Jehovah for their shadow, or defence. Compare Exo_15:15. Jos_2:9, Jos_2:11. Isa_13:7; Isa_19:1. Eze_21:7.
