Exodus 16:8-13 NIV

Geneva Study Bible - Exodus 16:8

16:8 And Moses said, [This shall be], when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what [are] we? your murmurings [are] not against us, but against the {e} LORD.(e) He that condemns God’s ministers, condemns God himself. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:1-36

BREAD FROM HEAVEN FOR THE WILDERNESS (vs.1-36) Just one month following the Passover in Egypt, Israel, leaving the refreshment of Elim's oasis, came into "the wilderness of sin" (v.1). Sin means "thorn," and a thorn is an aborted attempt to bear fruit, which issues rather in that which is harmful and painful. In our Christian history too we find that the world through which we pass is a wilderness full of thorns, or in other words, "the sin which so easily ensnares us" (Hebrews 12:1). ... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 16:1-36

1. And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin (exactly one month after the departure from Egypt), which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt 2.

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 16:6-9

Observe, how frequent notice is taken that the Lord knew the murmurings of the people. Observe what Moses saith, that, in effect, it is with God they were displeased, and not with his servants. So the apostle reasoneth, Romans 13:1-2 . Observe, though God pardons sin, he chastiseth the sinner; see Jeremiah 2:19 . There is a remarkable passage to this effect, Psalms 99:8 . And again, Numbers 14:19-24 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 16:10

May we not spiritualize this passage, and say, when the word of God is delivered by his sent servants, it is in fact God himself speaking in the word, and by the word. So Paul thought, 1 Thessalonians 2:13 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 16:11-12

There are two sweet and precious points intimated in these words; the one is, that God undertakes to supply all the wants of his people. Their eyes are to be taken off from Moses, and to be directed to the Lord. John 6:32 . The other is, that thereby he proves himself to be their God, and they his people. How much Moses, in the after stages of Israel's history, dwells upon those glorious truths? Deuteronomy 32:9-14; Deuteronomy 32:9-14 . Reader! may it be your happiness and mine, to know that... read more
