Nehemiah 9:21

⁷For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has known your walking through this great wilderness. These forty years, the LORD your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing.

⁴Your clothing didn’t grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.

⁵I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not grown old on you, and your sandals have not grown old on your feet.

¹⁰The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

¹⁸For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.

²You shall remember all the way which the LORD your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not.

³³Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are consumed in the wilderness. ³⁴After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you will know my alienation.’

²⁵“Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, house of Israel?

³⁵The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
