Deuteronomy 8:1-6

Remember the Discipline of the Wilderness

Deuteronomy 8:1-6
1
"All the mitzvot I am giving you today you are to take care to obey, so that you will live, increase your numbers, enter and take possession of the land ADONAI swore about to your ancestors.
2
You are to remember everything of the way in which ADONAI led you these forty years in the desert, humbling and testing you in order to know what was in your heart - whether you would obey his mitzvot or not.
3
He humbled you, allowing you to become hungry, and then fed you with man, which neither you nor your ancestors had ever known, to make you understand that a person does not live on food alone but on everything that comes from the mouth of ADONAI.
4
During these forty years the clothing you were wearing didn't grow old, and your feet didn't swell up.
5
Think deeply about it: ADONAI was disciplining you, just as a man disciplines his child.
6
So obey the mitzvot of ADONAI your God, living as he directs and fearing him.
