Exodus 16:28 - Exposition

How long refuse ye to keep my commandments! Though Moses is addressed, it is the people who are blamed. Hence the plural verb, "refuse ye ." Already there had been one act of disobedience in connection with the manna (see Exodus 16:20 )—now there was another—when would such sinful folly come to an end? When would the people learn that they could gain nothing by disobedience? It was "long" indeed before they were taught the lesson.
