【申8:2】

[和合本] 你也要记念耶和华你的 神在旷野引导你这四十年，是要苦炼你、试验你，要知道你心内如何，肯守他的诫命不肯。

[文理本] 當憶爾上帝耶和華、此四十年、於野導爾之路、卑抑爾、試驗爾、欲知爾心、守其誡否、

[NIV] Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.

【申8:3】

[和合本] 他苦炼你，任你饥饿，将你和你列祖所不认识的吗哪赐给你吃，使你知道人活着不是单靠食物，乃是靠耶和华口里所出的一切话。

[文理本] 彼卑抑爾、任爾饑餓、食以瑪那、爾與爾祖所未識者、俾知人之生、不第恃食、惟恃耶和華口所出之言、

[NIV] He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers 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 .
