3 He took your pride away. He let you go hungry. Then he gave you manna to eat. You and your parents had never even known anything about manna before. He tested you to teach you that man doesn't live only on bread. He also lives on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
4 Your clothes didn't wear out during these 40 years. Your feet didn't swell.
5 Here is what I want you to know in your hearts. The Lord your God trains you, just as parents train their children.
6 Obey the commands of the Lord your God. Live as he wants you to live. Have respect for him.
7 The Lord your God is bringing you into a good land. It has streams and pools of water. Springs flow in its valleys and hills.
8 It has wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey.
9 There is plenty of food in that land. You will have everything you need. Its rocks have iron in them. And you can dig copper out of its hills.
