The psalm’s telling of the children of Ephraim turning back, and of the words against God about a table in the wilderness
에브라임 자손의 물러감과 광야의 식탁을 두고 하나님을 대적한 말을 적은 시편의 말
Psalm 78:9–20: The psalm tells, “The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. They didn’t keep God’s covenant, and refused to walk in his law. They forgot his doings, his wondrous deeds that he had shown them. He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. He split the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap. In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, and all night with a light of fire. He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths. He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert. They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire. Yes, they spoke against God. They said, ‘Can God prepare a table in the wilderness? Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?’” The Korean Revised Version reads 여호와의 (the LORD’s) at 78:11, 하나님이 (God) at 78:12 and 하나님께 (against God) at 78:17, where WEB reads “his”, “He” and “him”.
