Bible Comments

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. 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.
