Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Exodus 16:8

And Moses said, [This shall be], when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what [are] we? your murmurings [are] not against us, but against the LORD.

8. ‘An explanatory gloss of the compiler on vv. 6, 7’ (Di.).

This shall be] i.e. Ye shall know and see what I have told you ( v. 6 f.).

Verse 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.

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” k,

the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him; it will then appear that he has heard them, and taken notice of them, by giving them bread and flesh, they complained of the want of; and yet did not resent in a way of wrath and displeasure their murmurings, but kindly, bountifully, and in a most marvellous manner provided for them, which was acting like himself, a God gracious and merciful:

and what [are] we? that we should be the objects of your resentment, and be murmured at, and complained of, who had done nothing to deserve such treatment:

your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord; not only against them, but against the Lord also; or not so much against them as against the Lord, whose messengers and ministers they were, and whom they represented, obeyed, and served; thus whatever is done to the ministers of Christ, he reckons as done to the Father, and to himself,

Ver. 8. In the evening flesh to eat, &c. ] Never was prince so served in his greatest pomp, as these rebellious Israelites. How good shall we find him then to those that please him!
