1. The Israelites come to Sin, and murmur for want of bread
4. God promises them bread and meat from heaven, and they are rebuked

(36) Now an omer.--The "omer" and the "ephah" were both of them Egyptian measures. One--the latter--continued in use among the Hebrews, at any rate, until the captivity (Ezekiel 45, 46); the other--the omer--fell out of use very early. Hence this parenthetic verse, which is exegetical of the word "omer," and may have been added by the completer of Deuteronomy, or by some later editor--perhaps Ezra.

Verse 36. - An omer. The "omer" must be distinguished from the "homer" of later times. It was an Egyptian measure, as also was the" ephah." It is not improbable that the verse is an addition by a later writer, as Joshua, or Ezra.
