Contextual Overview

1 Then moved they on from Elim, and all the assembly of the sons of Israel entered into the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month, by their coming forth out of the land of Egypt. 2 Then did all the assembly of the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron in the desert; 3 and the sons of Israel said unto them - Oh that we had died by the hand of Yahweh, in the land of Egypt, when we remained by the pot of flesh, when we did eat bread to the full, - for ye have brought us forth into this desert, to cause all this multitude to die by famine. 4 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Behold me! ruining down for you bread out of heaven, - and the people shall go out and gather the portion for a day, on its day, that I may prove them whether they will walk in my law, or not. 5 And it shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall settle what they shall bring in, - and it shall be twice as much as they gather day by day. 6 So Moses and Aaron said unto all the sons of Israel, - At eventide, then shall ye know that it was, Yahweh, who brought you forth, out of the land of Egypt; 7 and, in the morning, then shall ye see the glory of Yahweh, in that he hath heard your murmurings against Yahweh, - what then are, we, that ye should murmur against, us? 8 And Moses said - In that Yahweh giveth you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning, to the full, in that Yahweh heareth your murmurings wherewith ye are murmuring against him, what then are, we? Not against us, do ye murmur but against Yahweh. 9 And Moses said unto Aaron, Say unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, Draw near, before Yahweh, - for he hath heard your murmurings. 10 And it came to pass, when Aaron spake unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, then turned they towards the desert, - and lo! the glory of Yahweh, had appeared in the cloud,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel,.... Before he had well done speaking:

that they looked toward the wilderness; they were already in the wilderness of Sin, and they looked straight forward toward that part of it which was yet before them, or to the wilderness of Sinai, which was right onward, and whither they were travelling:

and, behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud; which went before them; there was a more than common brightness in it, an effulgence and beam of light and glory shining in it. Christ, the brightness of his Father's glory, and the express image of his person, appeared in it, in some visible displays of his majesty, which made it very observable to them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Appeared in the cloud - Or, “was seen in a cloud.” The definite article would imply that the cloud was the same which is often mentioned in connection with the tabernacle. The people saw the cloud here spoken of beyond the camp.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 16:10. As Aaron spake — So he now became the spokesman or minister of Moses to the Hebrews, as he had been before unto Pharaoh; according to what is written, Exodus 7:1, &c.
