Exodus 16:6-10 NIV

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 16:6

And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel ,.... That is, Aaron spoke in the name of Moses to them, he being his spokesman, appointed of God to speak for him, and both spoke to them as from the Lord: at even, then ye shall know that the Lord hath brought you out from the land of Egypt : that they were brought out they knew, but they make this to be an act and deed of Moses and Aaron, Exodus 16:3 whereas it was the work of the Lord; and at evening they should have a fresh... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 16:7

And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the Lord ,.... Either as displayed in this wonderful affair, raining bread about their tents, which was in the morning, or else as it appeared in the cloud, Exodus 16:7 the latter sense seems to be confirmed by what follows: for that he; the glory of the Lord, the glorious Shechinah of Jehovah, the Angel that went before them in the cloud, the eternal Word and Son of God: heareth your murmurings against the Lord; against Jehovah his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 16:8

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 16:9

And Moses spake unto Aaron ,.... Who was his prophet and spokesman to the people: say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel ; to the heads of them, to as many as could conveniently hear him, and were to report what he said to the rest: come near before the Lord ; who was in the pillar of cloud, which from the first appearance of it never removed from them, nor the Lord from that; though some have thought, that before the tabernacle was built, there was some small tent... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 16:10

And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel ,.... Before he had well done speaking: that they looked toward the wilderness ; they were already in the wilderness of Sin, and they looked straight forward toward that part of it which was yet before them, or to the wilderness of Sinai, which was right onward, and whither they were travelling: and, behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud ; which went before them; there was a more... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:6

Ye shall know that the Lord hath brought you out - After all the miracles they had seen they appear still to suppose that their being brought out of Egypt was the work of Moses and Aaron; for though the miracles they had already seen were convincing for the time, yet as soon as they had passed by they relapsed into their former infidelity. God therefore saw it necessary to give them a daily miracle in the fall of the manna, that they might have the proof if his Divine interposition... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:7

Ye shall see the glory of the Lord - Does it not appear that the glory of the Lord is here spoken of as something distinct from the Lord? for it is said He (the glory) heareth your murmurings against the Lord; though the Lord may be here put for himself, the antecedent instead of the relative. This passage may receive some light from Hebrews 1:3 ; : Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, etc. And as St. Paul's words are spoken of the Lord Jesus, is it... read more

Adam Clarke

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

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:9

Come near before the Lord - This has been supposed to refer to some particular place, where the Lord manifested his presence. The great tabernacle was not yet built, but there appears to have been a small tabernacle or tent called the Tabernacle of the Congregation, which, after the sin of the golden calf, was always placed without the camp; see Exodus 33:7 ; : And Moses took the Tabernacle and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it The Tabernacle of the... read more
