Exodus 16:13 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Quails - This bird migrates in immense numbers in spring from the south: it is nowhere more common than in the neighborhood of the Red Sea. In this passage we read of a single flight so dense that it covered the encampment. The miracle consisted in the precise time of the arrival and its coincidence with the announcement.

Exodus 16:13

13 And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
