and gave them bread from the sky for their hunger, and brought forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and commanded those who they should go in to possess the land which you had sworn to give them.
When the children of Yisra'el saw it, they said one to another, *What is it?* For they didn't know what it was. Moshe said to them, *It is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.*
The children of Yisra'el ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Kena`an.
Then said the LORD to Moshe, *Behold, I will rain bread from the sky for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.
He humbled you, and allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you didn't know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD does man live.
