Deuteronomy 8:1-11 GNB ..."Obey faithfully all the laws that I have given you today, so that you may live, increase in number, and occupy the land that the LORD (יהוה) promised to your ancestors. (2) Remember how the LORD (יהוה) your God led you on this long journey through the desert these past forty years, sending hardships to test you, so that he might know what you intended to do and whether you would obey his commands. (3) He made you go hungry, and then he gave you manna to eat, food that you and your ancestors had never eaten before.
