Deuteronomy 29:5

3 ^athe great trials which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders.

4 Yet ^athe Lord has not given you a heart to¹ perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day.

5 ^aAnd I have led you forty years in the wilderness. ^bYour clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet.

6 ^aYou have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or similar drink, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.

7 And when you came to this place, ^aSihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we conquered them.

What Does Deuteronomy 29:5 Mean?

Deuteronomy 29:5-6

These verses serve two purposes: They are a reminder and a warning. He reminds them that He miraculously provided in their time of need due to the unusual circumstance He devised. The wider context shows this to be a warning that, despite all He did for them, His aid was ineffectual because they did not take His instruction to heart and do it. Consequently, they received God's grace—His gifts or favor—in vain.
