Contextual Overview
1 Afterwarde all the Congregation of the children of Israel departed from Elim, and came to the wildernes of Sin, (which is betweene Elim and Sinai) the fiftenth day of the second moneth after their departing out of ye land of Egypt. 2 And the whole Congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses & against Aaron in the wildernesse. 3 For the children of Israel sayde to them, Oh that we had dyed by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when wee sate by the flesh pots, when wee ate bread our bellies full: for yee haue brought vs out into this wildernesse, to kill this whole company with famine. 4 Then sayd the Lord vnto Moses, Behold, I wil cause bread to rayne from heauen to you, & the people shal goe out, and gather that that is sufficient for euery day, that I may proue them, whether they wil walke in my Law or no. 5 But the sixt daye they shall prepare that, which they shal bring home, and it shalbe twise as much as they gather dayly. 6 Then Moses and Aaron sayde vnto all the children of Israel, At euen ye shal know, that the Lord brought you out of the land of Egypt: 7 And in the morning ye shall see the glorie of the Lorde: for he hath heard your grudgings against the Lorde: and what are we that ye haue murmured against vs? 8 Againe Moses sayd, At euen shal the Lord giue you flesh to eate, and in the morning your fil of bread: for the Lorde hath heard your murmurings, which ye murmure against him: for what are we? your murmurings are not against vs, but against the Lord. 9 And Moses sayd to Aaron, Say vnto all the Congregation of the children of Israel, Draw neere before the Lorde: for he hath heard your murmurings. 10 Now as Aaron spake vnto the whole Congregation of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wildernesse, and beholde, the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloude.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Moses said, this shall be,.... Which supplement may be left out:
when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat; cause the quails to come up, and fall about their tents:
and in the morning bread to the full; by raining it from heaven all around them:
for that, or rather "then" k,
the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him; it will then appear that he has heard them, and taken notice of them, by giving them bread and flesh, they complained of the want of; and yet did not resent in a way of wrath and displeasure their murmurings, but kindly, bountifully, and in a most marvellous manner provided for them, which was acting like himself, a God gracious and merciful:
and what [are] we? that we should be the objects of your resentment, and be murmured at, and complained of, who had done nothing to deserve such treatment:
your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord; not only against them, but against the Lord also; or not so much against them as against the Lord, whose messengers and ministers they were, and whom they represented, obeyed, and served; thus whatever is done to the ministers of Christ, he reckons as done to the Father, and to himself,
Luke 10:16.
k ×ש××¢ "testabitur se audisse", Tigurine version.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Exodus 16:8. In the evening flesh to eat — Viz., the quails; and in the morning bread to the full, viz., the manna.
And what are we? — Only his servants, obeying his commands.
Your murmurings are not against us — For we have not brought you up from Egypt; but against the Lord, who, by his own miraculous power and goodness, has brought you out of your slavery.
