Following that, he cared for the Israelites during their 40 years in the wilderness, feeding them with manna, providing water, and even seeing to it that their mantles did not wear out and that their feet did not become swollen.
( Psalms 78: 12, 13, 43 — 51.) Jehova rūpējās par izraēliešiem visus 40 gadus, ko viņi pavadīja tuksnesī, — sagādāja viņiem mannu, deva ūdeni, pat izdarīja tā, lai viņiem nenovalkātos drēbes un neuztūktu kājas. ( 5. Mozus 8: 3, 4.)
