It was the fortieth year, eleventh month, on the first day of the month. Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all the commandments Jehovah (YHWH) gave him for them.

Remember the forty years Jehovah your God led you in the wilderness. He did this in order to humble you and test you. He wanted to know what was in your heart. Whether you would obey his commandments.

Your clothes

Your clothes did not wear out! And your feet did not swell these past forty years.

Truly, for forty years you were their support in the wilderness. They needed nothing. Their clothing did not get old or their feet become tired.

Do not worry! Do not say: 'What shall we eat?' or, 'What shall we drink?' or, 'What shall we wear?'

And thy shoe

They had worn out and patched shoes on their feet, they wore old garments; and all the bread of their provision was dry and moldy.

Take no extra clothes, not even two coats, no extra shoes or walking stick for the laborer is worthy of his food.
