The word rendered "angels" - אביר 'abbı̂yr - means properly "strong, mighty," and may be applied to people in general,
Judges 5:22;
Lamentations 1:15;
Jeremiah 46:15; to animals,
Psalm 22:13 ("bulls of Bashan"); to princes,
Psalm 68:31; or to nobles,
Job 24:22. It might be rendered here food of nobles, or princes; that is, food of richer quality, or of a more delicate nature, than common food; such as nobles or princes have on their tables. The immediate connection, however, would rather seem to demand the rendering in our version, as the food is said to have come down from heaven. It is rendered food of angels in the Septuagint, in the Latin Vulgate, in the ancient versions generally, and also by Luther. DeWette renders it, "Each one ate the food of princes;" that is, they all lived like princes.
