Many have attempted to give the following meaning to this text . "God so amply provided for them all the necessaries of life , that they never were obliged to wear tattered garments , nor were their feet injured for lack of shoes or sandals." Now , though the Israelites doubtless brought out of Egypt more raiment than what they had upon them; and they might manufacture the fleeces of their flocks in the wilderness; and also might be favoured by Providence with other supplies from the neighbouring nations or travelling hordes of Arabs; yet , when we consider their immense numbers , their situation and long continuance in the wilderness , and the very strong expressions made use of in the text , why should we question the extraordinary and miraculous interposition of God in this respect , as well as in others , not less stupendous in their nature , or constant in their supply?
