Forsooth the sons of Israel ate manna forty years, till they came into the land habitable, that is, able to be inhabited; they were fed with this meat, till they touched the coasts of the land of Canaan.
your sons shall be walkers-about in the desert by forty years, and they shall bear your fornication, till the carrions of their fathers be wasted in desert,
Thy Lord God hath blessed thee in all the works of thine hands; he hath known thy way, how thou hast passed through this most wilderness, by forty years; and thy Lord God dwelled with thee, and nothing failed to thee.
