Your clothing grew not old upon you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.
All Commentaries on Deuteronomy 8:4 Go To Deuteronomy 8
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
God granted to the garments of the Israelites their proper state without any damage for forty years. If so, how much more does he grant a very happy temperament of certain state to the bodies of those who obey his command until they may be turned into something better? This embetterment occurs not by the death of man, by which the body is deserted by the soul, but by a blessed change from mortality to immortality, from an animal to a spiritual quality.
