And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 8 of Deuteronomy. Moses interprets the forty years in the wilderness as a period of testing and formation. Hunger, manna, and daily dependence taught Israel that life is sustained not only by food but by the word of God. Entering a fertile land must not cause Israel to forget the lessons learned during scarcity.

Y acordarte has de todo el camino por donde te ha traído Jehová tu Dios estos cuarenta años en el desierto, para afligirte, por probarte, para saber lo que estaba en tu corazón, si habías de guardar o no sus mandamientos.
Recordarás todo el camino por el que Jehová tu Dios te ha guiado estos cuarenta años por el desierto, para humillarte, ponerte a prueba y saber lo que había en tu corazón: si guardarías o no sus mandamientos.
Souviens-toi de tout le chemin que l'Eternel, ton Dieu, t'a fait faire pendant ces quarante années dans le désert, afin de t'humilier et de t'éprouver, pour savoir quelles étaient les dispositions de ton coeur et si tu garderais ou non ses commandements.
E ricordati di tutto il cammino, per lo quale il Signore Iddio tuo ti ha condotto questi quarant’anni per lo deserto, per affliggerti, e per isperimentarti, per conoscer ciò che è nel cuor tuo; se tu osserverai i suoi comandamenti o no.
E te lembrarás de todo o caminho, pelo qual o SENHOR teu Deus te guiou no deserto estes quarenta anos, para te humilhar, e te provar, para saber o que estava no teu coração, se guardarias os seus mandamentos, ou não.
你要記得,這四十年耶和華─你的上帝在曠野一路引導你,是要磨煉你,考驗你,為要知道你的心如何,是否願意遵守他的誡命。
