During the forty years through the wilderness, your clothes did not wear out

[tonychanyt]

How?

God provided miraculously. Deuteronomy 8:

2 Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. 3He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. 4 Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.

They always had good clothes on their back and good shoes on their feet because God miraculously provided as he did for their food. They had no trouble finding materials to make new clothes or shoes when needed.

If there was any doubt, Moses reiterated in Deuteronomy 29:

5 the LORD says, "During the forty years that I led you through the wilderness, your clothes did not wear out, nor did the sandals on your feet.

Ezekiel 16:10 gives us some idea of what sandals were made of:

I clothed you with an embroidered dress and put sandals of fine leather on you.

God miraculously preserved their old clothes and sandals and provided materials for making new clothes and sandals. The 40 years in the wilderness was one big lesson in God's providence.

How?

God provided miraculously. Deuteronomy 8:


They always had good clothes on their back and good shoes on their feet because God miraculously provided as he did for their food. They had no trouble finding materials to make new clothes or shoes when needed.

If there was any doubt, Moses reiterated in Deuteronomy 29:

That Deut 29 and Deut 8 statement is "specific" to their time in the wilderness and it does not say "each time your shoes and clothes wore out I gave you material to make new ones".

Ezekiel 16:10 gives us some idea of what sandals were made of:


God miraculously preserved their old clothes and sandals and provided materials for making new clothes and sandals. The 40 years in the wilderness was one big lesson in God's providence.

Nothing in Ezek 16 limits this to the wilderness or even applies it to the 40 years in the wilderness.

"each time your shoes and clothes wore out I gave you material to make new ones".

Can you quote my words where I said that?

Can you quote my exact words? This is the 2nd time I have asked.
