8And Moses added, “The LORD will give you meat to eat this evening and bread to fill you in the morning, for He has heard your grumbling against Him. Who are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against the LORD.”
9Then Moses said to Aaron, “Tell the whole congregation of Israel, ‘Come before the LORD, for He has heard your grumbling.’”
10And as Aaron was speaking to the whole congregation of Israel, they looked toward the desert, and there in a cloud the glory of the LORD appeared.
11Then the LORD said to Moses, 12“I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites. Tell them, ‘At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God.’”Cross References

Exodus 16:10 Summary
[In Exodus 16:10, the glory of the LORD appeared to the Israelites in a cloud, showing them that God was with them and would provide for their needs, just as He had promised in Exodus 16:8. This event reminds us that God is always present and active in our lives, even when we cannot see Him. As we read in Psalm 23:4, 'Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me', and in Matthew 28:20, 'I am with you always, to the very end of the age.']
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the glory of the LORD appearing in a cloud in Exodus 16:10?
The appearance of God's glory in a cloud signified His presence and power, as seen in other instances like Exodus 24:15-17 and Numbers 9:15-23, where the cloud represented God's guidance and protection for the Israelites.
Why did the Israelites look toward the desert to see the glory of the LORD?
The Israelites looked toward the desert because that is where the cloud, which represented God's presence, was visible, much like in Exodus 13:21-22, where the cloud guided them during their journey out of Egypt.
How does this event relate to the Israelites' grumbling against God?
The appearance of God's glory in response to the Israelites' grumbling, as mentioned in Exodus 16:8, served as a reminder of His power and provision, as He would later demonstrate through the provision of manna and quail in Exodus 16:13 and Numbers 11:31.
What can we learn from Aaron's role in this event?
Aaron's role in speaking to the congregation of Israel, as instructed by Moses in Exodus 16:9, highlights the importance of obedience and faithfulness in leadership, as seen in other biblical leaders like Moses and Joshua, who also relied on God's guidance and direction.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can recognize and respond to God's presence in my life, just as the Israelites did in Exodus 16:10?
- How can I, like Moses and Aaron, faithfully communicate God's message to those around me, even in difficult circumstances?
- In what ways do I grumble or complain against God, and how can I instead choose to trust in His provision and care, as demonstrated in Exodus 16:8 and following verses?
- What does the appearance of God's glory in a cloud teach me about His nature and character, and how can I apply this to my own relationship with Him?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 16:10

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 16:10
An extraordinary brightness suddenly appearing in the pillar of cloud. See ,23.
Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 16:10
Exodus 16:10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.Ver. 10. Toward the wilderness.] Where the cloud was in the forefront of their armies.
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 16:10
(10) The glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.—The Hebrew, as at present pointed, has “in a cloud,” but there can be no reasonable doubt that the “pillar of the cloud” is meant. It was before this that they had been required to appear (Exodus 16:9), and from this almost certainly that some bright radiance was now made to stream forth. The object was at once to rebuke their murmurings, and to uphold the authority of Moses and Aaron.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 16:10
Verse 10. As Aaron spake] So he now became the spokesman or minister of Moses to the Hebrews, as he had been before unto Pharaoh; according to what is written, Exodus 7:1, &c.
Cambridge Bible on Exodus 16:10
10. that they looked, &c.] Cf. the very similar passage, Numbers 16:42. The ‘wilderness’ is however remarkable: as Di. remarks, they were in the wilderness (vv. 1, 2, 3), so that some more definite direction would be expected: originally, as he suggests, probably ‘toward the sanctuary,’ or ‘the tent of meeting’ (as Nu. l.c.), stood here (so Bä., McNeile). the glory of Jehovah, &c.] A brilliant glow of fire (cf. on Exodus 13:21 f.), symbolizing Jehovah’s presence, gleamed through the cloud, resting (if the conjecture in the last note be accepted) upon the Tent of Meeting. The cloud shrouds the full brilliancy of the glory, which human eye could not behold. The ‘glory of Jehovah’ is often mentioned in P in the same sense: Exodus 24:16 f.; and in connexion with the Tent of Meeting, Exodus 29:43, Exodus 40:34-35 (cf. 1 Kings 8:11, Ezekiel 43:4-5); and especially Leviticus 9:6; Leviticus 9:23, Numbers 14:10; Numbers 16:19; Numbers 16:42; Numbers 20:6. Comp. in Ezekiel’s visions, Ezekiel 1:28; Ezekiel 3:12; Ezekiel 3:23; Ezekiel 8:4; Ezekiel 9:3; Ezekiel 10:4; Ezekiel 10:18-19; Ezekiel 11:22-23; Ezekiel 43:2; Ezekiel 43:4-5; Ezekiel 44:4; also Luke 2:9. Cf. DB. ii. 184–6, v. 639 f.
Barnes' Notes on Exodus 16:10
Appeared in the cloud - Or, “was seen in a cloud.” The definite article would imply that the cloud was the same which is often mentioned in connection with the tabernacle. The people saw the cloud here spoken of beyond the camp.
Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 16:10
9-12. Moses directs Aaron to gather the people before the cloudy pillar from which flashed the Divine glory.
