Bible: Deut. 8:2,16

8:2 Remember the whole way by which he 1  has brought you these forty years through the desert 2  so that he might, by humbling you, test you to see if you have it within you to keep his commandments or not. 8:16 fed you in the desert with manna (which your ancestors had never before known) so that he might by humbling you test you 3  and eventually bring good to you.
