Commentary on the Bible · Written before 1832.

Ye shall know that the Lord hath brought you out - After all the miracles they had seen they appear still to suppose that their being brought out of Egypt was the work of Moses and Aaron; for though the miracles they had already seen were convincing for the time, yet as soon as they had passed by they relapsed into their former infidelity. God therefore saw it necessary to give them a daily miracle in the fall of the manna, that they might have the proof if his Divine interposition constantly before their eyes.

This site's exposition

At even, then ye shall know

on Exodus 16:6-7

The answer is split across a day, flesh at evening and sight in the morning. The phrase glory of the LORD occurs for the first time in Scripture at verse 7, and it returns on the mountain at 24:16 and on the finished tabernacle at 40:34. Moses and Aaron will not take the complaint as their own, asking what are we, that ye murmur against us.
