Exodus 16:7 Wrote:And [in the] morning, you shall see the glory of the Lord when He hears your complaints against the Lord but [of] what [significance] are we, that you make [the people] complain against us?
The second part of this verse is rather cryptic. I googled Exodus 16:7 and came across this alternate wording at BibleGateway:
Exodus 16:7 Wrote:and in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord, because he has heard your grumbling against him. Who are we, that you should grumble against us?
Is Moses and Aaron saying (essentially): "Hey, don't blame us. It's the Lord's doing."?
Reading ahead to Exodus 16:8, it sounds exactly like Moses and Aaron are saying "Hey, don't blame us" (though with a hint that the Israelites are treading on thin ice as any complaints they level against Moses and Aaron are, in reality, leveled against God).
Robert's response:
My understanding is that Moses and Aaron were humble, and in the passage were humbling themselves before the arrogant.
