4 ^yThen the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I am about to rain ^zbread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather ^aa day’s portion every day, that I may ^btest them, whether they will walk in my law or not.

2 And you shall remember the whole way that the Lord your God has led you ^pthese forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, ^qtesting you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not.

16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers did not know, that he might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end.

3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams. For the Lord your God is ^atesting you, to know whether you ^blove the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

4 They were for the testing of Israel, to know whether Israel would obey the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
