In the Old Testament, after Moses led the people of Israel out of Egypt, they dwelled in the wilderness for forty (40) years. The Lord provided food for them, covered them with a pillar of cloud during the day, and gave them light and warmth with a pillar of fire at night. You probably knew all this, but did you know that the Lord caused their clothes to remain intact and not wear out since they left Egypt? Not only their clothes but their shoes -aka sandals- stayed in good shape for the 40 years of wandering and traveling in the desert.
But I also wonder if the clothing of the youth expanded supernaturally as they grew up or if their parents shared theirs with them. I wish I knew…
For forty years I led you through the wilderness, yet your clothes and sandals did not wear out.
Deuteronomy 29:5
It is also mentioned in the following verses in the Bible:
