⁷ “For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. He knows your ^[a]trudging through this great wilderness. ^(A)These forty years the Lord your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.” ’

^4 (A)Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years.

¹⁸ Now ^(A)for a time of about forty years He put up with their ways in the wilderness.

^5 (A)And I have led you forty years in the wilderness. ^(B)Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet.

² And you shall remember that the Lord your God ^(A)led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and ^(B)test you, ^(C)to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.

³³ And your sons shall ^(A)be ^[a]shepherds in the wilderness ^(B)forty years, and ^(C)bear the brunt of your infidelity, until your carcasses are consumed in the wilderness. ^34 (D)According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, ^(E)forty days, for each day you shall bear your ^[b]guilt one year, namely forty years, ^(F)and you shall know My ^[c]rejection.
