Now in the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses gave to the children of Israel all the orders which the Lord had given him for them;

And keep in mind the way by which the Lord your God has taken you through the waste land these forty years, so that he might make low your pride and put you to the test, to see what was in your heart and if you would keep his orders or not.

Your clothes

Through all these forty years your clothing did not get old or your feet become tired.

Truly, for forty years you were their support in the waste land, and they were in need of nothing; their clothing did not get old or their feet become tired.

Then do not be full of care, saying, What are we to have for food or drink? or, With what may we be clothed?

And thy shoe

And put old stitched-up shoes on their feet, and old clothing on their backs; and all the food they had with them was dry and broken up.

Take no bag for your journey and do not take two coats or shoes or a stick: for the workman has a right to his food.
