Context
Manna and Quail from Heaven

Tell them, ‘At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God.’ ”…

And the LORD
This phrase emphasizes the divine authority and presence of Yahweh, the covenant-keeping God of Israel. The Hebrew word for "LORD" here is "YHWH," often vocalized as Yahweh, which is the personal name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). This name signifies God's eternal existence and His unchanging nature. In the context of Exodus, it underscores God's faithfulness and His active role in guiding and providing for the Israelites during their wilderness journey.

said
The Hebrew verb used here is "אָמַר" (amar), which means to speak, say, or declare. This verb is frequently used in the Old Testament to denote divine communication. It highlights the direct and personal nature of God's interaction with Moses, serving as a reminder that God is not distant but intimately involved in the lives of His people. This communication is a continuation of the divine guidance that has been a constant since the Israelites' exodus from Egypt.

to Moses
Moses is the central human figure in the narrative of the Exodus. His name, derived from the Hebrew "מֹשֶׁה" (Moshe), is believed to mean "drawn out," reflecting his rescue from the Nile River as a baby. Moses serves as the mediator between God and the Israelites, a role that foreshadows the ultimate mediation of Christ in the New Testament. In this context, Moses is the recipient of God's instructions, which he is to convey to the people, demonstrating the importance of obedience and leadership in fulfilling God's purposes.
