And in the morning, you will see the LORD's glory, because he has heard your complaints against the LORD. But who are we that you should complain against us?

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Moses is telling the Israelites that God has heard their complaints and will show his power in the morning, while reminding them that their real issue is with God, not with human leaders.

📚 Historical Context

In the book of Exodus, the Israelites had just been delivered from slavery in Egypt and were traveling through the wilderness, facing hardships like hunger and uncertainty. They began to complain to Moses and Aaron, accusing them of bringing them out to die, which reflected their lack of faith despite God's earlier miracles like the parting of the Red Sea. Moses responds by pointing out that their grumbling was ultimately against God, who would soon reveal His glory by providing manna in the morning.
