The glory of the Lord – the visible appearance described in Exo 16:10.

Verse 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 Heb 1:3: Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, c. And as St. Paul’s words are spoken of the Lord Jesus, is it not likely that the words of Moses refer to him also? “No man hath seen God at any time” hence we may infer that Christ was the visible agent in all the extraordinary and miraculous interferences which took place both in the patriarchal times and under the law.

The glory of the Lord; either this glorious work of God in giving manna; or rather the glorious appearance of God in the cloud, as is evident from Exo 16:10.

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, Ex 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 Father; see Ge 19:24
and what are we, that ye murmur against us? either signifying that there was no reason for it, and no occasion of it, since not they, but the Lord, brought them out of Egypt, and into those circumstances; what they did was only by his command, and with a view for their good, and therefore it was both unreasonable and ungrateful in them to murmur against them; or as observing, that seeing they murmured against the Lord, it was no strange thing to them they should murmur against them, and therefore took it the more quietly and patiently.

(7) And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the Lord.The reference here is to the manna, which in the morning lay round about the host (Exo. 16:13), not to the appearance of Exo. 16:10, which preceded the coming of the quails, and was notas far as we are toldin the morning. The glory of God was strikingly revealed in a gift which was not transient, but secured permanently the subsistence of the people so long as it might be necessary for them to continue in the wilderness. (Comp. the parallelism of Exo. 16:8; Exo. 16:12.)

Exo 16:7. Then ye shall see the glory of the Lord It is said in Exo 16:10 that they looked towards the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud, i.e. Jehovah manifested himself with a particular degree of brightness, and in such a manner, as convinced the Israelites that he was there immediately present. But, as miracles are called the glory of the Lord, Num 14:21-22. Joh 2:11 many have supposed, that the expression in this verse refers to the miracle of sending down the manna. This and the following verse will appear clear, if rendered thus, after Houbigant: In the morning ye shall see the glory of Jehovah; for he hath heard your murmurings, which are indeed against Jehovah: for what are we, that you continue to murmur against us? 8. And Moses said, Jehovah will give you flesh in the evening to eat; and in the morning as much bread as is sufficient: because he hath heard your murmurings, which indeed you murmur against Him: for what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.
