The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 105:40

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The people asked, and he brought quails; literally, they asked (comp. Exodus 16:3, Exodus 16:13; Numbers 11:31). And satisfied them with the bread of heaven. The "bread of heaven" is the manna, which was given to the Israelites continuously from their first encampment in the wilderness of Sin (Exodus 16:14, Exodus 16:15) to their first Passover in Canaan (Joshua 5:12).

The quails seem to have been given only twice.
