Numbers 15:41

I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.

I am the Lord your God. The import of this solemn conclusion is, that though He was displeased with them for their frequent rebellions, for which they would be doomed to 40 years' wandering, He would not abandon them, but continue His divine protection and care of them, until they were brought into the land of promise.
