📚 Historical Context
The Israelites had been complaining about lack of food after leaving Egypt and entering the harsh wilderness. God had promised to provide bread from heaven, and this verse describes the first night of that miraculous provision. The quails provided meat, while the dew would leave behind manna (a bread-like substance) when it evaporated.
