"gave you manna to eat"
it is not by bread alone that people live
Here "bread" represents all food. Alternate translation: "food is not the only thing people need so they can live" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche)
it is by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh that people live
Here "the mouth of Yahweh" is a metonym for the words that Yahweh says. Alternate translation: "people must obey the commands of Yahweh so they can live" or "people must do what Yahweh tells them to do so they can live" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy)
