Context — Remember the LORD Your God
13and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all that you have is multiplied,
14then your heart will become proud, and you will forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
15He led you through the vast and terrifying wilderness with its venomous snakes and scorpions, a thirsty and waterless land. He brought you water from the rock of flint.
16He fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers had not known, in order to humble you and test you, so that in the end He might cause you to prosper. 17You might say in your heart, “The power and strength of my hands have made this wealth for me.”Cross References

Deuteronomy 8:15 Summary
[This verse reminds us that God is our guide and provider, even in the toughest and most uncertain times, as seen in Deuteronomy 8:15. He led the Israelites through a scary and dangerous wilderness, but He also gave them water when they needed it, just like He gave them manna to eat, as mentioned in Deuteronomy 8:16. This shows us that God cares about our everyday needs and wants to help us, as promised in Matthew 6:25-34. We can trust Him to be with us and provide for us, no matter what challenges we face, and remember that He is our rock, as stated in Psalm 18:2.]
Frequently Asked Questions

Gill's Exposition on Deuteronomy 8:15
Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness,.... The wilderness of Paran, which was great and large, reaching from Sinai to Kadesh, eleven days' journey, and terrible to the sight,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 8:15
Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: Beware that thou forget not the Lord.
Trapp's Commentary on Deuteronomy 8:15
Deuteronomy 8:15 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;Ver. 15. Who led thee through, &c.] Good turns aggravate unkindnesses, and our offences are increased by our obligations.
Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 8:15
(15) The rock of flint.—The rock in Horeb is called tsûr; the rock smitten in Kadesh, selagh. The first word conveys the idea of “hardness”; the other is rather a “cliff,” or “height,” and suggests the idea of inaccessibility. In Numbers 20:10, the words of Moses to the rebels, “Must we fetch you water out of this rock?” seem to help the distinction, whatever its purpose may be. On the associations of the word tsûr with flint, see Note on Joshua 5:2. The word challâmîsh, here used for flint, occurs in Deuteronomy 32:13, Job 28:9, Psalms 114:8 (an allusion to this passage), and Isaiah 1:7.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Deuteronomy 8:15
Verse 15. Who led thee through that - terrible wilderness] See the account of their journeying in the notes, See Clarke on Exodus 16:1, c. Numbers 21:10-35, &c. Fiery serpents] Serpents whose bite occasioned a most violent inflammation, accompanied with an unquenchable thirst, and which terminated in death. See Clarke on Numbers 21:6.
Cambridge Bible on Deuteronomy 8:15
15. great and terrible wilderness] Deuteronomy 1:19 : cp. Deuteronomy 7:21. fiery serpents and scorpions] The former, in the collective singular naḥ ?ash sarapḥ ?, are described in the plural in Numbers 21:6 E: cp. Isaiah 30:6 : the flying saraph. If saraph really means burning and is not a foreign word (for dragon or the like), it refers to the inflammation produced by the serpent’s bite. Scorpions is added characteristically by D. out of the rock of flint] Exodus 17:6 (E): Numbers 20:8; Numbers 20:11 (JE): in both cases only the rock. D’s characteristic rhetoric adds of flint. The word does not occur before D, and elsewhere only in Deuteronomy 32:13; Psalms 114:8; Job 28:9; Isaiah 50:7.
