This phrase emphasizes God's providence and favor upon the Israelites. The blessing on the work of their hands signifies success and productivity in their endeavors, reflecting the covenant relationship between God and His people. This echoes the promise given to Abraham in <a href="/genesis/12-2.htm">Genesis 12:2-3</a>, where God assures blessings to his descendants. The concept of divine blessing is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, highlighting God's faithfulness and the importance of obedience to His commandments.He has watched over your journey through this vast wilderness. The wilderness journey refers to the Israelites' 40-year sojourn in the desert after their exodus from Egypt. This period was marked by God's miraculous provision and guidance, such as manna from heaven (Exodus 16) and water from the rock (Exodus 17). The wilderness is often seen as a place of testing and reliance on God, where the Israelites learned to trust in His provision and guidance. The phrase underscores God's protective presence, akin to a shepherd watching over his flock, as seen in <a href="/psalms/23.htm">Psalm 23</a>.The LORD your God has been with you these forty years, The forty years symbolize a generation and a period of testing and preparation. This time frame is significant in biblical numerology, often associated with trials and divine testing, as seen in the 40 days of rain during the flood (<a href="/genesis/7-12.htm">Genesis 7:12</a>) and Jesus' 40 days of fasting in the wilderness (<a href="/matthew/4-2.htm">Matthew 4:2</a>). God's presence with the Israelites during this time is a testament to His enduring faithfulness and patience, despite their frequent disobedience and complaints.and you have lacked nothing. This phrase highlights God's provision and sufficiency. Despite the harsh conditions of the wilderness, the Israelites' needs were met, illustrating God's ability to provide abundantly. This mirrors the promise in <a href="/philippians/4-19.htm">Philippians 4:19</a>, where God supplies all needs according to His riches.
