출애굽기 16:13 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 16:13

The quails came up . The word here translated, "quails" has been supposed to designate the flying-fish ( Trigla Israelitarum of Ehrenberg), or a species of locust (Ludolf). But Psalms 78:28 , makes it clear that "feathered fowls" are intended; and moderns generally, are agreed that the rendering "quails" is right. It has the authority of the Septuagint, of Josephus, and of the Vulgate. Diodorus says that "the inhabitants of Arabia Petraea prepared long nets, spread them near the coast... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 16:13-31

Divine provision for daily need. I. THE LORD 'S FAITHFULNESS . 1 . Their varied need was met. Flesh as well as bread was given. God gives us richly all things to enjoy. 2 . They came in the order and at the time God said they would come. The evening brought the quails—the morning the manna. Nothing failed of all that he had promised. 3 . They were given in abundance. The quails "covered the camp;" of the manna they "had no lack." There is princely bounty with God for... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Exodus 16:13

Quails - This bird migrates in immense numbers in spring from the south: it is nowhere more common than in the neighborhood of the Red Sea. In this passage we read of a single flight so dense that it covered the encampment. The miracle consisted in the precise time of the arrival and its coincidence with the announcement. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 16:13

Exodus 16:13. The quails came up So tame that they might be taken up, as many as they pleased. Although Ludolph has offered several arguments in his Ethiop. Hist. (l. 1. c. 13) to prove that the Hebrew word שׂלו , selav, here used, ought to be rendered locusts; it is certain, from Psalms 78:27, that birds of some kind are meant: He rained flesh upon them as dust, and feathered fowl as the sand of the sea. Buxtorf renders the word coturnices, quails. And Parkhurst, deriving the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 16:1-36

Complaints about food (16:1-36)The people soon forgot God’s goodness to them in giving them water, and complained against him again. This time their complaint was that they had no food (16:1-3). Once more God lovingly gave his people what they needed. From this time on till they entered Canaan, their regular food would be a flake-like substance that they had never seen before. They called the food manna (meaning ‘What is it?’), because they did not know what else to call it (4; see v. 15).God... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 16:13-15

"And it came to pass at even, that the quails came up and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about every camp. And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness a small round thing, small as the hoar-frost on the ground. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is it? for they knew not what it was. And Moses said unto them, It is the bread which Jehovah hath given you to eat."These verses record the coming of the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 16:13

Exodus 16:13. Quails— Ludolph has offered several arguments (in his Ethiop. Hist. lib. i. c. 13.) to prove, that the word השׂלו haslau ought to be rendered locusts; which, he thinks, best agrees with the circumstances of the narration. See Numbers 11:21. Parkhurst says, that שׂלו selau signifies a quail; a kind of bird so called from its living remarkably in ease and plenty among the corn. Hence, among the Egyptians, a quail was the emblem of ease and tranquillity; and this bird being generally... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Exodus 16:13

13-31. at even the quails came up, and covered the camp—This bird is of the gallinaceous kind [that is, relating to the order of heavy-bodied, largely terrestrial birds], resembling the red partridge, but not larger than the turtledove. They are found in certain seasons in the places through which the Israelites passed, being migratory birds, and they were probably brought to the camp by "a wind from the Lord" as on another occasion (Numbers 11:31). and in the morning . . . a small round thing... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 16:13-21

"These [quail still] fly in such dense masses that the Arab boys often kill two or three at a time, by merely striking at them with a stick as they fly. . . . But in spring the quails also come northwards in immense masses from the interior of Africa, and return in autumn, when they sometimes arrive so exhausted, that they can be caught with the hand. . . ." [Note: Keil and Delitzsch, 2:66-67.] Egyptian art pictures people catching the birds in hand nets. [Note: Hannah, p. 134.] The Hebrew word... read more
