“And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.”
He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD — Jesus would quote this directly against Satan in the temptation (Matt 4:4), asserting that spiritual nourishment supersedes material hunger. Manna's miraculous provision teaches dependence on the divine word as the true source of life.
