לחם ששאלו כהוגן — ניתן להם כהוגן. מכאן למדה תורה דרך ארץ שלא יאכל אדם בשר אלא בלילה. והאמר אביי: האי מאן דאית ליה סעודתא — לא לאכליה אלא ביממא! כעין יממא קא אמרינן. אמר רב אחא בר יעקב: בתחלה היו ישראל דומין כתרנגולים שמנקרין באשפה, עד שבא משה וקבע להם זמן סעודה.
However, bread, which is essential, they asked for appropriately. Therefore, it was given to them appropriately, in the morning, when there was time to prepare it. The Talmud comments: From here, the Torah teaches etiquette, that it is proper to eat meat only at night, as Moses said to the children of Israel: “This should be, when YHWH will give you in the evening meat to eat” (Exodus 16:8). The Talmud asks: But didn’t Abaye say that someone who has a meal should eat it only in the day? The Talmud answers: We mean to say: Like day. It is not necessary to eat the food in the daytime, as long as one can see what he eats. R' Aḥa bar Ya’akov said: At the beginning, the Jewish people were like chickens pecking at the garbage; any time there was food they grabbed it and ate it, until Moses came and set specific times to eat, as the verse implies. He set mealtimes for them in the morning and in the evening.
