📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, the Israelites had recently been freed from harsh slavery in Egypt through God's miraculous interventions, such as the ten plagues and the parting of the Red Sea, as they began their journey to the Promised Land. By this point in chapter 16, the people were in the wilderness, grumbling about hunger and questioning God's provision after their deliverance. Moses and Aaron were reminding them that God, who had already shown His power by bringing them out of Egypt, would continue to care for them, specifically pointing to an evening event where His provision would be evident.
