Exodus 16:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 16:9

7 And in the morning you shall see ^athe glory of the Lord; for He ^bhears your complaints against the Lord. But ^cwhat are we, that you complain against us?”

8 Also Moses said, “This shall be seen when the Lord gives you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to the full; for the Lord hears your complaints which you make against Him. And what are we? Your complaints are not against us but ^aagainst the Lord.”

9 Then Moses spoke to Aaron, “Say to all the congregation of the children of Israel, ^a‘Come near before the Lord, for He has heard your complaints.’ ”

10 Now it came to pass, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the Lord ^aappeared in the cloud.

11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

12 ^a“I have heard the complaints of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, ^b‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and ^cin the morning you shall be filled with bread. And you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’ ”
