Commento su Esodo 16:11

וידבר ה׳ אל משה לאמור. G'd told Moses to say: It is difficult to understand why the Torah writes לאמור in verse 11 when G'd had not yet completed the instructions He gave to Moses. The word לאמור in verse 12 would have been perfectly adequate.

V. 11. Alles, was Mosche und Aaron bis jetzt zum Volke geredet hatten, war nur Vorbereitung auf dieses Gotteswort, damit sie es in dem rechten Sinne auffassen und daraus die beabsichtigte Belehrung schöpfen mögen.

וידבר ה' אל משה, “Hashem spoke to Moses; actually we have been told this already in verse 4. [This may have been repeated as Moses and Aaron had not immediately included what G-d had said concerning the manna on Friday being a double portion. Therefore here we have a stronger command, Hashem being quoted as וידבר instead of the softer ויאמר, Ed.]
