Deuteronomy 8:3

Easy To Read Version

The Lord humbled you and let you be hungry. Then he fed you with manna [49] —something you did not know about before. It was something your ancestors [50] had never seen. Why did the Lord do these things? Because he wanted you to know that it is not just bread that keeps people alive. People’s lives depend on what the Lord says.
