Context of Exodus 16:8
6And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that Yhwh hath brought you out from the land of Egypt: 7And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of Yhwh; for that he heareth your murmurings against Yhwh: and what are we, that ye murmur against us? And Moses said, This shall be, when Yhwh shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that Yhwh heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Yhwh. 9And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before Yhwh: for he hath heard your murmurings. 10And 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 Yhwh appeared in the cloud.
