The "LORD's glory" often signifies His presence and divine intervention. In the context of the Israelites' journey, it underscores God's continual guidance and provision. The glory of the LORD is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, often associated with His presence in the tabernacle (<a href="/exodus/40-34.htm">Exodus 40:34-35</a>) and later in the temple (<a href="/1_kings/8-10.htm">1 Kings 8:10-11</a>). This manifestation of glory prefigures the ultimate revelation of God's glory in Jesus Christ, as seen in <a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>, where the Word becomes flesh and dwells among us, and we behold His glory.<p><b>because He has heard your grumbling against Him</b><br>The Israelites' grumbling highlights their lack of faith and trust in God's provision, despite witnessing numerous miracles, such as the parting of the Red Sea. This grumbling is a recurring issue throughout their wilderness journey (<a href="/numbers/14-27.htm">Numbers 14:27</a>). It serves as a reminder of human nature's tendency to doubt and complain, even in the face of divine intervention. God's response to their grumbling is not one of immediate judgment but of provision, demonstrating His patience and mercy. This foreshadows the New Testament teaching of God's grace, as seen in <a href="/romans/5-8.htm">Romans 5:8</a>, where God demonstrates His love for us even while we are still sinners.<p><b>For who are we, that you should grumble against us?”</b><br>Moses and Aaron, as leaders, deflect the complaints of the Israelites, emphasizing that their grumbling is ultimately against God, not them. This statement reflects the humility of Moses and Aaron, recognizing their roles as instruments of God's will rather than the source of provision. It also serves as a reminder that leaders are often the target of dissatisfaction, but the true issue lies in the people's relationship with God. This concept is echoed in the New Testament, where leaders are called to serve as stewards of God's mysteries (<a href="/1_corinthians/4.htm">1 Corinthians 4:1</a>) and to lead with humility, as seen in <a href="/1_peter/5-2.htm">1 Peter 5:2-3</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God who were delivered from slavery in Egypt and are now journeying through the wilderness.

The "glory of God" was strikingly revealed in a gift which was not transient, but secured permanently the subsistence of the people so long as it might be necessary for them to continue in the wilderness. (Comp. the parallelism of <a href="/exodus/16-8.htm" title="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 hears your murmurings which you murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.">Exodus 16:8</a>; <a href="/exodus/16-12.htm" title="I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, At even you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread; and you shall know that I am the LORD your God.">Exodus 16:12</a>.)<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/16.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 7.</span> ? <span class="cmt_word">And in the morning then ye shall see the glory of the Lord</span>. This has been supposed to refer to the manifestation of God's presence recorded in verse 10; but the balance of the two clauses in verses 6 and 7 implies two <span class="cmt_word">similar</span> manifestations, and their arrangement shows the priority of the evening one. Now the manifestation of verse 10 preceded the coming of the quails. The manifestation which followed it, which was similar, and in the morning, was the fall of the manna. <span class="cmt_word">For that he heareth your murmurings</span>.
