Charles Spurgeon Commentary Exodus 16:11-12

"And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God." — Exodus 16:11-12 (ASV)

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel:

"I have heard them." God always does hear. Oh, his wonderful patience! If he took no notice of the murmurers, or punished them for their wickedness, we should have no cause for wonder; but he is longsuffering, even to those who do not deserve his pity.
