Deuteronomy 8:2

Detailed Stipulations

¹ All the commandment which I am commanding thee to-day, shalt thou, observe, to do, - that ye may, live, and multiply, and enter in and possess the land, which Yahweh sware unto your fathers. ² So then, thou shalt remember all the way in which Yahweh thy God caused thee to journey these forty years in the desert, - that he might humble time to put thee to the proof to know what was in thy heart, - whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or not. ³ So he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna which thou hadst not known, neither had thy fathers' known, - that he might lead thee to consider that not on bread alone, shall the son of earth live, but on whatsoever cometh from the bidding of Yahweh, shall the son of earth live.
