forgot his works, and provoked him at the sea, even at the Red Sea, Ps 106:7-13. Note, Experiences of God's mercies greatly aggravate our distrusts and murmurings.
2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured
against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
3 and the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had
died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the fleshpots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
4 Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from
heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare
that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even,
then ye shall know that the Lord hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
7 and in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the Lord; for
that he heareth your murmurings against the Lord: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
8 And Moses said, This shall be, when the Lord shall give you in the
evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord.
How Moses made known these intentions to Israel, as God ordered him. Here Aaron was his prophet, as he had been to Pharaoh. Moses directed Aaron what to speak to the congregation of Israel (Ex 16:9); and some think that, while Aaron was giving a public summons to the congregation to come near before the Lord, Moses retired to pray, and that the appearance of the glory of the Lord (Ex 16:10) was in answer to his prayer. They are called to come near, as Isa 1:18, Come, and let us reason together.
