You ate no bread and drank no wine or other fermented drink. I did this so that you might know that I am the Lord your God.”

Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the Lord your God.

I sent for all of the Israelites. Here is what I said to them.

With your own eyes you have seen everything the Lord did in Egypt to Pharaoh. You have seen what he did to all of Pharaoh’s officials and to his whole land. With your own eyes you saw how the Lord really made them suffer. You saw his miraculous signs and great wonders.

But to this very day the Lord hasn’t given you a mind that understands. He hasn’t given you eyes that see. He hasn’t given you ears that hear.

He led you through the desert for 40 years. During that time your clothes didn’t wear out. The sandals on your feet didn’t wear out either. You didn’t eat any bread. You didn’t drink any kind of wine. The Lord did all of those things because he wanted you to know that he is the Lord your God.
