Context — Manna and Quail from Heaven
6So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, “This evening you will know that it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
7and in the morning you will see the LORD’s glory, because He has heard your grumbling against Him. For who are we, that you should grumble against us?” 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.”Cross References

Exodus 16:6 Summary
[This verse, Exodus 16:6, tells us that Moses and Aaron reminded the Israelites that God would show them His power and presence that evening, providing for their needs, just as He had promised in Exodus 16:4. This was a reminder of God's deliverance, similar to what is written in Deuteronomy 8:2-3, and a call to trust in His care, as seen in Matthew 6:33. By waiting on God and seeing His glory, we can learn to trust Him more deeply, just as the Israelites did. As we reflect on this verse, we can ask ourselves how we can apply this lesson to our own lives, trusting God to provide for us, just as He did for the Israelites.]
