And He humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did they fathers know; that He might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. — Deuteronomy 8:3
Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. — Deuteronomy 8:4
Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. — Deuteronomy 8:5
Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in His ways, and to fear Him. — Deuteronomy 8:6
