And he humbledª° thee, and suffered thee to hunger,ª° and fedª° thee with¹ manna,ª which¹ thou knewestª° not,¹ neither¹ did thy fathersª know;ª° that¹ he might make thee knowª° that¹ manª doth not¹ liveª° by¹ breadª only,ª but¹ by¹ every¹ [word] that proceedeth² out¹ of the mouthª of the LORDª doth manª live.ª°" {Deu 8:2-3} + "And gavestª° them breadª from heavenª¹ for their hunger,ª and broughtest forthª° waterª for them out of the rockª¹ for their thirst,ª and promisedstª° them that they should go inª° to possessª°¹ the landª which¹ thou hadst swornªª°¹ to giveª° them." {Neh 9:15} + "Thou gavestª° also thy goodª spiritª to instructª° them, and withheldestª° not¹ thy mannaª from their mouth,ª¹ and gavestª° them waterª for their thirst.ª ...
