“Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;”
He led you through the vast and dreadful wilderness, that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes and scorpions — the wilderness's perils (snakes, scorpions, desolation) are recounted precisely to underscore that survival there depended entirely on divine protection, not human resourcefulness. The memory of danger should humble the heart in the land of plenty.
