B. W. Johnson's Bible Commentary

Exodus 16:11

The Lord spake unto Moses.

The Lord's communications for Israel, except in the rare instance of the giving of the law at Sinai, were made through Moses. The congregation of Israel is marshalled before the cloudy pillar; it shines with resplendent glory from the presence of the Lord, at the same time manifesting his displeasure; then the Lord communicates through Moses, his chosen mediator, his will.
