Context — Manna and Quail from Heaven
4Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain down bread from heaven for you. Each day the people are to go out and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test whether or not they will follow My instructions.
5Then on the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather on the other days.”
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.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What was the purpose of the Israelites' experience in the wilderness?
The purpose was to test their faith and obedience to God, as stated in Exodus 16:4, where God says He will test whether they follow His instructions.
Why did Moses and Aaron tell the Israelites they would know God brought them out of Egypt that evening?
Moses and Aaron told the Israelites this because God had promised to provide for them and demonstrate His presence and power, as seen in Exodus 16:6-7, and this would be a reminder of His deliverance, similar to what is written in Deuteronomy 8:2-3.
How does this verse relate to the overall story of the Israelites' journey?
This verse is a pivotal moment in the Israelites' journey, as it marks a turning point in their understanding of God's provision and care for them, much like the promise given in Genesis 50:20, where God's sovereignty is demonstrated in the midst of difficulty.
What can we learn from the Israelites' experience about trusting God?
We can learn that trusting God involves waiting on Him and seeing His glory, as stated in Exodus 16:7, and that He is faithful to provide for us, just as He did for the Israelites, as seen in Matthew 6:33, where seeking God's kingdom is prioritized.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I need to trust God's provision and care, just as the Israelites did in the wilderness?
- How can I apply the lesson of waiting on God, as seen in Exodus 16:6, to my own life and circumstances?
- In what ways can I demonstrate my trust in God's sovereignty, even in difficult situations, like the Israelites did?
- What does it mean for me to 'see God's glory' in my own life, as promised in Exodus 16:7, and how can I cultivate a deeper awareness of His presence?

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 16:6
Verse 6. Ye shall know that the Lord hath brought you out] After all the miracles they had seen they appear still to suppose that their being brought out of Egypt was the work of Moses and Aaron; for though the miracles they had already seen were convincing for the time, yet as soon as they had passed by they relapsed into their former infidelity. God therefore saw it necessary to give them a daily miracle in the fall of the manna, that they might have the proof if his Divine interposition constantly before their eyes. Thus they knew that Jehovah had brought them out, and that it was not the act of Moses and Aaron.
