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

This occurs during the Israelites' journey through the wilderness after escaping Egypt, when they were complaining about lack of food. Moses and Aaron were bearing the brunt of the people's frustration, but Moses recognized that the complaints were ultimately directed at God who had called them to lead. The next morning, God would provide manna from heaven as a demonstration of His provision and glory.
