Deuteronomy 8:4
_ _ Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years — What a striking miracle was this! No doubt the Israelites might have brought from Egypt more clothes than they wore at their outset; they might also have obtained supplies of various articles of food and raiment in barter with the neighboring tribes for the fleeces and skins of their sheep and goats; and in furnishing them with such opportunities the care of Providence appeared. But the strong and pointed terms which Moses here uses (see also Deuteronomy 29:5) indicate a special or miraculous interposition of their loving Guardian in preserving them amid the wear and tear of their nomadic life in the desert. Thirdly, Moses expatiated on the goodness of the promised land. |
Deuteronomy 8:4
Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot (d) swell, these forty years.
(d) As those that go barefoot. |
Many have attempted to give the following meaning to this text - "God so amply provided for them all the necessaries of life, that they never were obliged to wear tattered garments, nor were their feet injured for lack of shoes or sandals." Now, though the Israelites doubtless brought out of Egypt more raiment than what they had upon them; and they might manufacture the fleeces of their flocks in the wilderness; and also might be favoured by Providence with other supplies from the neighbouring nations or travelling hordes of Arabs; yet, when we consider their immense numbers, their situation and long continuance in the wilderness, and the very strong expressions made use of in the text, why should we question the extraordinary and miraculous interposition of God in this respect, as well as in others, not less stupendous in their nature, or constant in their supply?
Deuteronomy 29:5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
Nehemiah 9:21 Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, [ so that] they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.
Matthew 26:25- 30 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said. ... And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
