Exodus 16:8-13 NIV

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:2-15

Chapter 16 God Provides Manna and Quails for His People - The Sign of the Seventh Day (Exodus 16:2-36 ). In this chapter God provides both meat and ‘bread’ for His people. The passage continues to reveal chiastic patterns, a pattern which also appears in Leviticus and predominates in the book of Numbers (see our commentary). The chapter can be divided into two. Up to Exodus 16:15 it deals specifically with the promise of bread from heaven and the provision of the manna and the quails, and the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 16:9

Before the Lord; either before the cloudy pillar, where God was especially present; or in the place of God’s worship. For though the great tabernacle was not yet built, yet it seems from Exodus 33:7 there was a little tabernacle. For as the solemn, and public, and sabbath worship was among them before the tabernacle was built, so it was necessary. there should be some place where they did assemble together, and perform that worship which was proper to those times, and there God was supposed to... read more

God chooseth the proper time for each kind of provision; the evening for the quails, which being brought from remote parts, by their day’s flight, about evening came thither; and the morning for manna, which usually falls at that time. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 16:4-21

CRITICAL NOTES.—Exodus 16:13. Quails.] Heb. שלו. “so called from its fatness” (Gesenius). According to all accounts, the “quail” abounds in those regions.Exodus 16:15. Manna.] It is evidently premature to take the Heb. מן as a proper name in this place, although afterwards it became that. Our choice lies probably between the two renderings given in the margin of the authorised version. “What is this?” or, “This is a portion.” Kalisch and Young decide for the former; Davies adopts the latter.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 16:1-36

The children of Israel are moving now through the wilderness.And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

Exodus 16:1. The fifteenth day of the second month; that is, Jiar, or the 30th of April. See the table, chap. 12. Exodus 16:2. Israel murmured. They wantonly said as in Psalms 78:20, Can the Lord give us bread also; can he provide flesh for his people? Exodus 16:13. The quails covered the camp. It was the time when the corn of Egypt began to ripen, and the quails flocked in great abundance. They fell for a day’s journey round the camp, and in some places two cubits thick. Exodus... read more
