The events related here took place in the early days of the Israelites journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. It was a period in their history where they enjoyed remarkable provision. But it was also a time where we read that the people complained often. These complaints are recorded, for example, at Exodus 15:24; 16:2-3; and 17:2. Looking on further, the same pattern is seen in Numbers 11:1 and 14:1-4.
Harvest is a time to remind us not to complain but to be very grateful. This is how we should be, not only at Harvest, but all the year. We need to learn from Paul (see Philippians 4:11-13).
In the passage in Exodus, Moses and Aaron were frequently targets for the people's complaints. That was their usual complaints procedure. But actually their complaints were made ultimately against God Himself. It is God who hears their complaints against Him (Exodus 16: 6-7, 9-11).
