Jesus here quoted the prophet Moses, who told the Israelites: “[Jehovah] humbled you and let you go hungry and fed you with the manna, which neither you had known nor your fathers had known; in order to make you know that not by bread alone does man live but by every expression of Jehovah’s mouth does man live. ”
Jeesus tsiteeris prohvet Moosest, kes ütles Iisraelile: „[Jehoova] alandas sind ja laskis sind nälgida, ja ta söötis sind mannaga, mida ei tundnud sina ega su vanemad, et teha sulle teatavaks, et inimene ei ela ükspäinis leivast, vaid inimene elab kõigest, mis lähtub Jehoova suust ”.
