Deutéronome 29:5 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 29:5

And I have led you forty years in the wilderness
From the time of their coming out of Egypt unto that day, which though not quite complete, is given as a round number. Eupolemus F4, an Heathen writer, confirms this date of the ministry of Moses among the Israelites; he says, Moses performed the office of a prophet forty years:

your clothes are not waxen old upon you:
were not worn out; all those forty years they had been in the wilderness, they had never wanted clothes fitting for them, according to their age and stature, and which decayed not; (See Gill on Deuteronomy 8:4);

and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot;
which were necessary to wear in travelling, and especially in a rugged wilderness; and yet, thought they had been always in use during so long a time, were not worn out, which was really miraculous; (See Gill on Deuteronomy 8:4).

Deutéronome 29:5 In-Context

3 Les grandes épreuves que tes yeux ont vues, ces grands signes et miracles;
4 Mais l'Éternel ne vous a point donnĂ© jusqu'Ă  ce jour un cƓur pour connaĂźtre, ni des yeux pour voir, ni des oreilles pour entendre.
5 Et je vous ai conduits quarante ans dans le dĂ©sert, sans que vos vĂȘtements se soient usĂ©s sur vous, et sans que ton soulier se soit usĂ© sur ton pied;
6 Vous n'avez point mangĂ© de pain, ni bu de vin, ni de boisson forte, afin que vous connussiez que je suis l'Éternel votre Dieu,
7 Et vous ĂȘtes parvenus en ce lieu. Et Sihon, roi de Hesbon, et Og, roi de Bassan, sont sortis Ă  notre rencontre pour nous combattre, et nous les avons battus,
