Êxodo 16:8 NVT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 16:1-12

The host of Israel, it seems, took along with them out of Egypt, when they came thence on the fifteenth day of the first month, a month's provisions, which, by the fifteenth day of the second month, was all spent; and here we have, I. Their discontent and murmuring upon that occasion, Exod. 16:2, 3. The whole congregation, the greatest part of them, joined in this mutiny; it was not immediately against God that they murmured, but (which was equivalent) against Moses and Aaron, God's... read more

And Moses said, this shall be ,.... Which supplement may be left out: when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat ; cause the quails to come up, and fall about their tents: and in the morning bread to the full ; by raining it from heaven all around them: for that , or rather "then" F11 בשמע "testabitur se audisse", Tigurine version. : the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him ; it will then appear that he has heard them, and taken... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:8

In the evening flesh to eat - Viz., the quails; and in the morning bread to the full, viz., the manna. And what are we? - Only his servants, obeying his commands. Your murmurings are not against us - For we have not brought you up from Egypt; but against the Lord, who, by his own miraculous power and goodness, has brought you out of your slavery. read more

The provision of the manna. This chapter contains an account of the first provision of miraculous bread for Israel in the wilderness. We are told very fully the circumstances in which it was given and the regulations for obtaining and using it. This provision of bread comes very appropriately after the visits to Marah and Elim. The waters had been made sure, and were soon to be made sure again ( Exodus 17:1-16 .); and now the bread is given ( Isaiah 33:16 ). Before God takes the people... read more

The manna of the body-A homily on providence. "They said one to another, what is this? (marg.) for they wist not what it was" ( Exodus 16:15 ). Introduction:—Trace the journey from Elim to the sea ( Numbers 33:10 ); and thence to the wilderness of Sin; and give a thoroughly good exegetical exposition of the facts of the manna story. It would be well also to show the supernatural character of the manna; and, at the same time, that the manna supernatural was not unlike (and yet unlike... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 16:1-36

Manna for the soul; a homily on grace. " I am the living bread … he shall live for ever." John 6:51 . Having given the manna story, discussed the miracle, and given the lessons bearing on our providential path, we now go up to the higher level, and listen to the truths taught in relation to the kingdom of God's grace. These gather round the central truth—that the Lord Jesus Christ is the nutriment of the soul. For that truth we have his own supreme authority. [See the full discourse... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 16:4-8

The mercy of God in hearing and helping even an ungrateful and discontented people. God is very merciful to those who are in covenant with him, whom he has chosen for his own, and made "the sheep of his pasture." Very often, and very far may they go astray, turn from the right way, rebel against him, refuse to hearken to his voice, murmur, misuse his ministers and slander them, yet not alienate him wholly. Indefectible grace must not indeed be claimed by any man as his own portion; for... read more

The gift of Manna. Quails also were given, on this occasion in mercy, and on a later occasion in wrath ( Numbers 11:31-34 ); but it was the manna which was the principal gift, both as providing Israel with a continuous supply of food, and as having a permanent significance in the history of God's dealings with his Church ( Exodus 16:32-35 ). I. THE MANNA PROMISED ( Exodus 16:4-9 ). 1 . God would rain bread from heaven for them ( Exodus 16:4 ). He would spread a table... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 16:8

When the lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat . Moses must have received a distinct intimation of the coming arrival of the quails, trough he has not recorded it, his desire of brevity causing him to retrench all that is not absolutely necessary for the right understanding of the narrative. It is, comparatively, seldom that he records both the Divine message and his delivery of it. In general, he places upon record either the message only, or its delivery only. Bread to the full ... read more
