F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 16:27-36

Daily Food and its Memorial Exodus 16:27-36 Wherever the cloud broods the manna falls. If we are true to God’s leadings, and pitch our tents in obedience to His guiding cloud, we may confidently reckon on Him to provide our daily food. It will come “day by day.” Each man must gather, not only for himself, but for his own household. We are not to hoard up against tomorrow, because God, who has provided, will provide. And we are not to break in on the rest-day, or on the rest of our soul, by... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 16:1-36

From Elim the people moved into the dreariness of the great wilderness and began to be conscious of the scarcity of some of the things which they had had, even in the midst of Egyptian slavery. There manifested itself a craving for the material which for the moment rendered them unconscious of the value of the spiritual. They plainly declared that bondage with flesh was preferable to liberty with hunger. Very arresting is the attitude and activity of Jehovah toward them. Without rebuke He gave... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 16:15

BREAD FROM HEAVEN‘The bread which the Lord hath given.’ Exodus 16:15 Six weeks of the desert, part of which was spent beside the wells and under the palm-trees of Elim, were enough to sicken the people of freedom. They were but a mob of slaves in heart yet, and, like children, lived in the present, and were more influenced by hunger and thirst than by fine words about liberty and serving God. The natural man has a very short memory for anything but good living, so by ‘the fifteenth day of the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:2-15

Chapter 16 God Provides Manna and Quails for His People - The Sign of the Seventh Day (Exodus 16:2-36 ). In this chapter God provides both meat and ‘bread’ for His people. The passage continues to reveal chiastic patterns, a pattern which also appears in Leviticus and predominates in the book of Numbers (see our commentary). The chapter can be divided into two. Up to Exodus 16:15 it deals specifically with the promise of bread from heaven and the provision of the manna and the quails, and the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:16-18

‘This is what Yahweh has commanded. You gather of it every man according to his eating. An omer a head, according to the number of your persons you will take it, every man for those who are in his tent. And the children of Israel did so, some more, some less. And when they measured it out with an omer he who gathered much had nothing over and he who gathered little had no lack. They gathered every man according to his eating.’ The people are commanded by Yahweh to gather an omer of manna per... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:19-20

‘And Moses said to them, “Let no man leave of it until the morning.” In spite of this they did not listen to Moses but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them.’ Each days supply was to be for that day alone, and Moses ordered them not to leave any over until the morning. But some, having learned in the wilderness to preserve food supplies, were disobedient and kept some for the next day. Then to their horror they found it teeming... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:21

‘And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating, and when the sun grew hot it melted.’ Each morning they gathered an omer per person according to the number in each tent. And ‘when the sun grew hot it melted’. While this does not exclude ants as partly consuming it, it demonstrates that it was not mainly ants which disposed of it. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:22

‘And it happened on the sixth day that they gathered twice as much food, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.’ The gathering of twice as much was in accordance with the instruction in Exodus 16:5. It is noteworthy that Moses was keeping a close watch on what was happening, for the ‘rulers’, the chiefs, reported back what was happening. “The rulers of the congregation.” As with ‘children of Israel’ which was abbreviated to ‘Israel’ when applied... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:23

‘And he said to them, “This is that which Yahweh spoke. Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath to Yahweh. Bake what you will bake and seethe what you will seethe and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.” ’ The impression given here is that Moses is imparting new information. He explains that the seventh day is to be a holy sabbath, and therefore also every seventh day after that. It may well therefore be that this is in fact the time when the regular... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:24

‘And they laid it up until the morning as Moses ordered them, and it did not smell nor was there any worm in it.’ When they laid up Manna for the seventh day it did not go bad. It may be that it had been cooked on the previous day and that that prevented this. (Cooking was certainly later forbidden on the Sabbath - Exodus 35:3). read more
