Exodus 16:9 KJV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 16:7-9

Exodus 16:7-9. Ye shall see the glory of the Lord Either this glorious work of God in giving you bread from heaven, or rather the glorious appearance of God in the cloud, as is mentioned in Exodus 16:10. Come near before the Lord Before the cloudy pillar, where God was especially present. 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 16:9-12

"And Moses said unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before Jehovah; for he hath heard your murmurings. And it came to pass as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud. And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: Speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 16:4-12

The manifestation of God’s glory was His regular provision of manna that began the next day and continued for 40 years (Exodus 16:7). The glory of the Lord here was the evidence of His presence in the cloudy pillar (Exodus 16:10). This was probably a flash of light and possibly thunder, both of which later emanated from the cloud over Mt. Sinai (cf. Exodus 19:18). read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:1-36

Third Murmuring. Sending of the Manna1. Pursuing their march southward, the Israelites come at the end of the first month after their departure from Egypt to the wilderness of Sin, forming the SW. border of the peninsula: see on Exodus 15:22. All the stations in the march are not mentioned. In Numbers 33:10 allusion is made to an ’encampment by the Red Sea’ between Elim and the wilderness of Sin. It must be remembered also that, owing to the vast extent of the host, there must have been a... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Exodus 16:1-36

Exodus 16:2 It is 'worthy of remark,' Milton indignantly observes in his Second Defence, 'that those who are the most unworthy of liberty are wont to behave most ungratefully towards their deliverers'. Compare the further application of this passage by Milton in his tract on 'The Ready and Easy Way to Establish a Free Commonwealth, and the Excellence thereof, compared with the Inconveniences and Dangers of Readmitting Kingship in this Nation'. Towards the close of his remonstrance, he writes... 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. And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured (this is the third murmuring) against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: 3. And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God... read more

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
