The forty years of wandering is quite interesting on a number of levels. We know from earlier accounts that not even their sandals wore down. They ate for forty years, bread from heaven. God's judgment and our trials are sprinkled with His grace, mercy and provision. The righteous, even the fallen righteous have never been forsaken by God. (Verse 11)--The day after the Passover, that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land: unleaven bread and roasted grain. 12 The manna stopped the day after they ate this food from the land; there was no longer any manna for the Israelites, but that year they ate of the produce of Canaan. It's this type of love and grace from God that allows the writer to state: "Count all joy brethren when you fall into various trials....:James 1:2-ff. (It's worth reading)
God bless,
