Exodus 16:11,12 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

There are two sweet and precious points intimated in these words; the one is, that God undertakes to supply all the wants of his people. Their eyes are to be taken off from Moses, and to be directed to the Lord. John 6:32. The other is, that thereby he proves himself to be their God, and they his people. How much Moses, in the after stages of Israel's history, dwells upon those glorious truths? Deuteronomy 32:9-14; Deuteronomy 32:9-14. Reader! may it be your happiness and mine, to know that the Lord is our God in the same covenant way, and from the same covenant tokens.

Exodus 16:11-12

11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.
