| From the Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "There is a gum of the same name distilled in this desert region from the
tamarisk, which is much prized by the natives, and preserved carefully by those who gather
it. It is collected early in the morning, melts under the heat of the sun, and is
congealed by the cold of night." |

Commentary, Exodus 16:2-4, 9-15, Elna K. Solvang, Preaching This
Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2009.
| "God is near and listening to
those whom we might be tempted to call faithless: those who complain
to God because they are hungry, anxious, dislocated, in unfamiliar
territory and without a clear plan for the future. There God is
present." |
|
|
Commentary, Exodus 16:2-15, Nancy deClaissé-Walford, Preaching This
Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2008.
| "Exodus 16 has many themes that
speak to Christians today—grumbling by the people of God, good
provision by God, and the importance of Sabbath rest." |

Exodus 16:2-15,
Pentecost 19,
Commentary, Background, Insights from Literary Structure, Theological
Message, Ways to Present the Text. Anna Grant-Henderson, Uniting Church
in Australia.
| "I agree that we can easily forget
about God who is present in the ordinary as well as in the miraculous.
However, in the case of the wilderness neither the quail nor the manna
were present before the people complained to Moses and Aaron, and their
appearance and instructions re the amount to be taken come into the area
of the miraculous. If the consequences of their greed were a consequence
in my life it might help to curtail my times of excess in all sorts of
areas." |

| "Perhaps it is this other side, the underside of the liberation shekel,
that ought to give us in the West the most to ponder in reading the story of God’s
salvation in Exodus. This God of Exodus, who saves the oppressed, is the God who judges
the oppressor who will not let go." |
