Ex. 16:7 The people are responding to the Lord’s power as if it is disconnected from who he is (see v. 3). Moses says that they will see the glory of the Lord (v. 10), which is a sign of his presence (see 24:16–17; 40:34–35).
Ex. 16:15 The term “manna” (see v. 31) sounds like the Hebrew phrase “What is it?” (see esv footnote).

Ex. 16:35 That Israel ate manna till they came to the border of the land of Canaan indicates that at least this verse was written after Israel had finished its wandering in the wilderness (see Josh. 5:12).
