And he let it fall in the midst of their camp … – It was brought to their very doors; they had not to go and seek it abroad.

Of their camp, Heb. of his camp; either Israels camp, or Gods camp; for seeing Israel was Gods people, and he dwelt among them, their camp was his camp.

And he let it fall in the midst of their camp,…. Or, “his camps” l; the four camps of Israel; for so many there were, Nu 2:1 or the camp of God, where he dwelt, and before which he went as the General, Leader, and Commander of them; in the midst of this, or by it, by the side of it, Nu 11:31, the flesh or feathered fowl fell, so that they had no trouble to fetch it in; and here it fell by the order and direction of the Lord himself; he caused it to fall, without whose knowledge and will a sparrow does not fall to the ground, Mt 10:29. These creatures fell either, as some think, being wearied with their flight over the Red sea; or through their wings being broken by the vehemency of the wind that brought them, as others; or by the moistness of the south wind, which wetted their wings, and made them flag and fall; but, by whatever means this was done, it was so ordered by the Lord that they should fall, and fall just in the place where they did:
round about their habitations; for the space of a day’s journey on every side, where they lay in heaps, here and there, two cubits high,
Nu 11:31, so that they could gather them with great ease, and had no need of arrows to shoot at them, nor nets to spread for them; they were ready at hand, and in great plenty.
