On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Let favour be shown to them, yet will they not learn righteousness, Isa. xxvi. How Moses made known these intentions to Israel, as God ordered him. Here Aaron was his prophet, as he had been to Pharaoh.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

They must gather, every man according to his eating; enough is as good as a feast, and more than enough is as bad as a surfeit.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Then said the Lord unto Moses--Though the outbreak was immediately against the human leaders, it was indirectly against God: yet mark His patience, and how graciously He promised to redress the grievance.
