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

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 16:13-21

Now they begin to be provided for by the immediate hand of God. I. He makes them a feast, at night, of delicate fowl, feathered fowl (Ps. 78:27), therefore not locusts, as some think; quails, or pheasants, or some wild fowl, came up, and covered the camp, so tame that they might take up as many of them as they pleased. Note, God gives us of the good things of this life, not only for necessity, but for delight, that we may not only serve him, but serve him cheerfully. II. Next morning he rained... 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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 16:12

I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel ,.... This Moses and Aaron had often affirmed, and now the Lord confirms what they had said, and lets them know that he took notice of their murmurings, and disapproved of them, and was displeased with them; though he did not think fit to resent them in an angry way, but dealt kindly and graciously with them; and since he had brought them into a wilderness, which was his own act, he would take care of them, and provide for them; which... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 16:13

And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up ,.... From the coasts of Egypt, from the Red sea, over which they flew; and being evening, and weary with flying so long, lighted and settled where the Israelites encamped. Josephus F12 Antiqu. l. 3. c. 1. sect. 5. says, about the Arabian gulf there are more of this sort of birds than any other, which flying over the sea, and being weary, and coming nearer the ground than other birds, and lighting among the Hebrews, they took them... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 16:14

And when the dew that lay was gone up ,.... Exhaled by the sun upon the rising of it: behold, upon the face of the wilderness ; upon the surface of it, all around the camp of Israel: there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground ; which is what is in the next verse called "manna". Before the sun rose there was nothing but a dew to be seen; when that was gone off through the force of the sun, then the manna appeared; which was but a "small thing", and very... read more

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
