Book ◦ Chapter

So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites
Moses and Aaron, as leaders appointed by God, often served as His mouthpieces to the Israelites. Their role was crucial in guiding the people through the wilderness. This phrase highlights the importance of leadership and obedience to God's chosen representatives. The Israelites, a large group estimated to be over a million people, were in a state of transition and needed clear guidance. This moment underscores the communal aspect of Israel's journey, where messages from God were delivered to the entire assembly, emphasizing unity and collective responsibility.

This evening you will know
The phrase "this evening" indicates a specific time when God would reveal His power and faithfulness. It sets the stage for an immediate demonstration of God's presence and provision. The use of "you will know" suggests a deeper understanding and recognition of God's sovereignty and involvement in their lives. This knowledge is not just intellectual but experiential, as the Israelites would witness a tangible sign of God's care. The timing also reflects the biblical pattern of God acting at appointed times, often in the evening, as seen in other scriptural events.

that it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt
This statement reaffirms God's role as the deliverer of Israel, reminding them of the miraculous exodus from Egypt. It serves as a reminder of God's covenant faithfulness and His power over the false gods of Egypt. The emphasis on "the LORD" (YHWH) highlights His personal name, signifying a relationship with His people. This deliverance is a type of salvation, prefiguring the ultimate deliverance through Jesus Christ. The exodus is a foundational event in Israel's history, often referenced throughout the Bible as a symbol of God's redemptive power and faithfulness to His promises.

What Does Exodus 16:6 Mean

So Moses and Aaron said

• God-appointed leaders (Exodus 4:15-16) speak with one voice, underscoring divine authority.

• Their message follows earlier signs (Exodus 4:30), maintaining a pattern of obedience.

• Later prophets mirror this leadership chain (1 Samuel 12:6-7).

to all the Israelites

• The whole nation, not just elders, hears (contrastExodus 3:18).

• Mirrors the all-inclusive Passover call (Exodus 12:3).

• Corporate hearing readies them for unified action (Exodus 14:22;Deuteronomy 5:1).

This evening you will know

• A precise deadline echoes plague warnings (Exodus 8:23).

• Experiential knowledge arrives with quail and manna (Exodus 16:12-15).

• Timed proofs reappear at the Jordan (Joshua 3:10).

that it was the LORD

• Fulfills “I am the LORD…I will bring you out” (Exodus 6:6-7).

• Guards against crediting human effort (Zechariah 4:6).

• Reinforced later: “I am the LORD, and there is no other” (Isaiah 45:5-6).

who brought you out of the land of Egypt

• Becomes the enduring identity statement (Deuteronomy 5:6).

• Remembered deliverance counters present grumbling (Exodus 16:2-3).

• Cited to the church as a faith anchor (1Colossians 10:1-2).

summary

By promising a same-day proof,Exodus 16:6 reassures Israel that their rescue is God’s unmistakable work. Through unified leadership, a nation-wide message, and a time-stamped miracle, the LORD validates His past deliverance and calls His people to fresh confidence in His faithful care.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(6)At even, then ye shall know . . . --The allusion is to the quails, which came up "at even," and covered the camp. (SeeExodus 16:12-13.)

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 6. -At even, then ye shall know. See verses 12 and 13. The first evidence which the Israelites would have, that God had heard 'and considered their complaints, would be the descent of the quails at even of the day on which Moses and Aaron addressed them.That the Lordhath brought you out -i.e., "that it is not we who, to gratify our own personal ambition, have induced you to quit Egypt under our guidance; but that all which we have done has been to act as God's instruments, and to carry out his designs."
