Why is this even a question? Look later on in the book to the 40 years in the wilderness. God gave the Israelites food for 40 years. Why would He have a problem with 40 days?
This is a science thread, so saying anything is possible due to a miraculous intercession of a given deity is off-topic.
Once you bring in miracles, you are no longer talking about science. Perhaps you should propose a new topic concerning how a belief in miracles is compatible with the desire to attain enough scientific knowledge to make sound predictions, cure diseases, or feed the poor in the modern world.
