DEUTERONOMY 8

Written By Katherine Hall

MOSES WARNS THE ISRAELITES TO REMEMBER GOD IN THE PROMISED LAND 

Moses recalls how God provided for the Israelites as they were in the wilderness, giving them manna daily. God allowed the Israelites to wander in the wilderness to test their faithfulness and teach them humility. Knowing they will have a better quality of life in the Promised Land, Moses cautions the Israelites against being prideful. 

When Jesus is tempted in the wilderness, He quotes Deuteronomy 8:3 as response to the devil’s attack on his hunger and authority (Matthew 4).
