Moses spoke to the Israelites as they made ready to cross over the Jordan into the Promised Land. He would not be going with them, so he reminded the people of every good thing that God had taught them and had given to them on their journey. "And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD. Deuteronomy 8:2-3
