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 heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
Moses said, 'This will happen when the LORD gives you meat to eat in the evening and all the bread you want in the morning. The LORD hears your complaining that you've been doing against him. What are we? Your complaints aren't really against us, but against the LORD.'
Moses is telling the Israelites that God hears their complaining, and when they grumble against their leaders, they're actually complaining against God himself.
📚 Historical Context
The Israelites had been freed from slavery in Egypt but were now wandering in the wilderness, facing hunger and hardship. They began complaining against Moses and Aaron, wishing they had stayed in Egypt where they at least had food. God was about to provide quail in the evening and manna (bread from heaven) in the morning to meet their needs.
