1 “You must carefully follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase, and may enter and take possession of the land the Lord swore to your fathers.
2 Remember that the Lord your God led you on the entire journey these 40 years in the wilderness, so that He might humble you and test you to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep His commands.
3 He humbled you by letting you go hungry; then He gave you manna to eat, which you and your fathers had not known, so that you might learn that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
4 Your clothing did not wear out, and your feet did not swell these 40 years.
5 Keep in mind that the Lord your God has been disciplining you just as a man disciplines his son.
6 So keep the commands of the Lord your God by walking in His ways and fearing Him.
