8417. 'And the people will go out' means the consequent life. This is clear from the meaning of 'going' as living or life, dealt with in 1293, 3335, 4882, 5493, 5605; and 'going out' here, that is, going to collect the manna, has a similar meaning. Regarding the meaning of 'going' as life, see also 8420.
