Exodus 16:7 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Then ye shall see the glory of the Lord— It is said in Exodus 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, Numbers 14:21-22. John 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.
