Deuteronomy 8:3

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And he humbled thee,.... Or afflicted thee with want of bread:and suffered thee to hunger; that there might be an opportunity of showing his mercy, and exerting his power:and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; a sort of food they had never seen before, and when they saw it, knew not what it was, but asked, what is it?

Ex 16:15.
