Keep all the commandments which I have commanded you this day to do them: that ye may live and increase, and go in and possess the land by right of inheritance, which the Lord swore to your fathers. 2 And be mindful of all the way wherethrough the Lord thy GOD hath made thee to walk these forty years in the wilderness: to the intent to afflict and try thee, that he might know what is in thine hart, and see whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or no. 3 He afflicted thee, and made thee to endure hunger, and fed thee with Manna which neither thou, nor thy fathers knew, to make thee to know that man liveth not only by bread, but that man liveth by all that ever cometh out of the mouth of the Lord. 4 Thy raiment hath not worn upon thee, neither hath thy foot been swollen all these forty years.
Keepe al the commaundementes which I haue commaunded you this day to do them: that yee may liue and encrease, and go in and possesse the land by right of inheritance, which the Lord swore to your fathers. 2 And be mindfull of al the way wherethrough the Lord thy GOD hath made thee to walk these fortie yeares in the wildernesse: to the intent to afflict and try thee, that hee might knowe what is in thine hart, and see whether thou wouldest keepe his commaundements or no. 3 Hee afflicted thee, and made thee to endure hunger, and fedde thee with Manna which neither thou, nor thy fathers knew, to make thee to know that man lyueth not onely by bread, but that man lyueth by all that euer commeth out of the mouth of the Lord. 4 Thy rayment hath not worne vpon thee, neyther hath thy foote beene swolne all these fortie yeares.
