Exodus 16:4,5 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Observe, how the Lord magnifies the riches of his grace. Might not the Lord have justly said, I will rain down fire and brimstone to destroy them. Compare what the Lord did in this instance with what he did in the case of Sodom; and then ask the question of your own heart, what greater evidence do you require of distinguishing mercy! Genesis 19:24. Make the subject personal, and say as Paul did, Romans 3:9. Then turn to that scripture, Ezekiel 36:31-32.

Exodus 16:4-5

4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.

5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
