Contextual Overview

⁹ [Like as] the children of Ephraim, which beyng harnessed & carying bowes: turned their backes in the day of battayle. ¹⁰ They kept not the couenaunt of God: and they woulde not walke in his law. ¹¹ But they forgat his workes: and his wonders which he had shewed them. ¹² Marueylous thinges dyd he in the sight of their fathers: in the land of Egypt, in the fielde of Zoan. ¹³ He deuided the sea and let them go thorowe: he made the waters to stande as on an heape. ¹⁴ In the day time also he led them with a cloude: and all the night through with a light of fire. ¹⁵ He cloued the harde rockes in the wildernes: & gaue them drinke therof, as it had ben out of the great deepe waters. ¹⁶ He brought running streames out of a stonie rocke: and caused waters to gushe downe, like as out of riuers. ¹⁷ Yet for all this they sinned still against hym: so that they prouoked the most hyghest in the wildernesse. ¹⁸ And they temped god in their heartes: in requiring meate for their lust.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Though he had commanded the clouds from above,.... Which were round about him, his chariots, and the dust of his feet; and which were at his command to go here and there, and carry and let down provisions for his people, as they did:

and opened the doors of heaven; as a large granary, from whence the manna, afterwards called the corn of heaven, was given out in great abundance, which is signified by opening the doors; see Malachi 3:10.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Though he had commanded the clouds from above - Though he had showed that he had absolute control over the clouds, and had only to command them and they would furnish rain in abundance. Compare the notes at Isaiah 5:6.

And opened the doors of heaven - As he had done at the deluge, Genesis 7:11. The idea is, that he had rained down manna upon them in such abundance that it might be compared with the waters that had been sent down at the deluge.
