出埃及记 16:1-2 RCUVSS

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 16:1

And they took their journey from Elim ,.... And came again to the Red sea, as appears from Numbers 33:10 perhaps to some bay or creek of it, which ran up from it, and lay in their way, and where for a short time they encamped to look at it, and recollect what had been done for them in bringing them through it; but as their stay here was short, and nothing of any importance or consequence happened, it is here omitted, and their next station is only observed: and all the congregation of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 16:2

And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured ,.... For want of bread; for the Targum of Jonathan says, that day the dough ceased they brought of Egypt, on which, and the unleavened cakes they had lived thirty days; and for a longer space of time it was not sufficient, as Josephus F7 Antiqu. l. 2. c. 15. sect. 1. and other Jewish writers F8 Seder Olam Rabba, c. 5. p. 17. observe; and now it was all spent, and they were in the utmost distress for bread, and fall a... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:1

The wilderness of Sin - This desert lies between Elim and Sinai, and from Elim, Dr. Shaw says, Mount Sinai can be seen distinctly. Mr. Ainsworth supposes that this wilderness had its name from a strong city of Egypt called Sin, near which it lay. See Ezekiel 30:15 , Ezekiel 30:16 . Before they came to the wilderness of Sin, they had a previous encampment by the Red Sea after they left Elim, of which Moses makes distinct mention Numbers 33:10 , Numbers 33:11 . The fifteenth day of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:2

The whole congregation - murmured - This is an additional proof of the degraded state of the minds of this people; See Clarke's note on Exodus 13:17 . And this very circumstance affords a convincing argument that a people so stupidly carnal could not have been induced to leave Egypt had they not been persuaded so to do by the most evident and striking miracles. Human nature can never be reduced to a more abject state in this world than that in which the body is enthralled by political... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:1

Verse 1 1.And they took their journey. Moses relates, that, when after a month the people came to the wilderness of Sin near Mount Sinai, and when their provision failed, they rebelled against God and Moses, and manna, a new and unusual kind of food, was given them from heaven. It is uncertain with what foods they were sustained in the meantime. Some conjecture that they brought sufficient flour from Egypt for their supply; but to me it seems probable that other kinds of food were used in... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:2

Verse 2 2.And the whole congregation. Moses says not that some of the people only murmured, but that they were all gathered into mobs as in a conspiracy, or, at any rate, as they were arranged by hundreds and thousands, that they murmured with one consent. Yet the universal term admits of exception; nor need we suppose that all to a man were comprehended in this impious rebellion. The best remedy for their hunger would have been to pray to God, whom they had found to be in all respects a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 16:1

They journeyed from Elim, and all the congregation came . It has been noted (Cook) that the form of expression seems to imply that the Israelites proceeded in detachments from Elim, and were first assembled as a complete host when they reached the wilderness of Sin." This accords well with their numbers and with the character of the localities. They could only assemble all together when they reached some considerable plain . Between Elim and Sinai . This expression must be regarded as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 16:1-3

1 . The fact that the Egyptian settlements in the Sinaitic peninsula would thus be avoided, as they seem to have been, since no contest with Egyptians is recorded; 2 . The descent of the quails, who, wearied with a long flight over the Red Sea, would naturally settle as soon as they reached the shore; 3 . The greater openness and facility of the El Markha and Wady Feiran route, which is admitted by all; and 4 . The suitability of the latter to the particulars of the narrative... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 16:1-3

The unreasonableness of discontent. The people of Israel experience now the second trial that has come upon them since the passage of the Red Sea. First, they had nothing which they could drink ( Exodus 15:24 ); now they are afraid that they will soon have nothing to eat. They have consumed their dough ( Exodus 12:39 ), their grain, their flour; many of them have consumed, or lost, their beasts. The land around them produces little or nothing that is edible; no settled inhabitants show... read more
