Hello, and welcome
to His Words Are Life
00:00:16.21\00:00:18.42
I'm Kelly Mowrer and
thank you for joining with me
00:00:18.45\00:00:20.67
to read the word of God today.
When we were last together
00:00:20.70\00:00:23.35
we were reading about
the wanderings if Israel
00:00:23.38\00:00:24.91
in the desert for 40 years and
now they are coming up to Canaan
00:00:24.94\00:00:28.18
in the land of promise
that God is giving to them.
00:00:28.21\00:00:30.49
We'll pick up the story
there, but before we start,
00:00:30.52\00:00:33.03
let's pray together. Dear Jesus
we long to come home with You
00:00:33.06\00:00:38.06
and be in the land of heavenly
promise forever in Your presence
00:00:38.09\00:00:41.96
until that day, thank you
for these words that are life
00:00:41.99\00:00:47.42
and light to us. Please be
with us now as we read them.
00:00:47.45\00:00:50.53
Teach us what You would have
us to learn from these stories.
00:00:50.56\00:00:53.72
And thank you for
loving us and blessing us.
00:00:53.75\00:00:57.71
We love You so much.
Amen Reading in Numbers,
00:00:57.74\00:01:01.47
chapter 36, and when we
left off the chief fathers
00:01:01.50\00:01:05.97
of the families of
Gilead had come to Moses
00:01:06.00\00:01:08.77
to request that the inheritance
of their brother, Zelophedad -
00:01:08.80\00:01:13.32
Zelophehad, be
given to his daughters.
00:01:13.35\00:01:17.87
And that's where we are
going to pick up the story
00:01:17.90\00:01:19.87
in Numbers 36, verse
3. And if they be married
00:01:19.90\00:01:25.40
to any of the sons of the other
tribes of the children of Israel
00:01:25.43\00:01:28.86
then shall their inheritance
be taken from the inheritance
00:01:28.89\00:01:31.64
of our fathers, and shall be put
to the inheritance of the tribe
00:01:31.67\00:01:35.52
whereunto they are
received: so shall it be taken
00:01:35.55\00:01:38.55
from the lot of our inheritance.
And when the jubilee
00:01:38.58\00:01:42.25
of the children of Israel shall
be, then shall their inheritance
00:01:42.28\00:01:45.77
be put unto the inheritance
of the tribe whereunto they are
00:01:45.80\00:01:49.37
received: so shall their
inheritance be taken away
00:01:49.40\00:01:52.74
from the inheritance of
the tribe of our fathers.
00:01:52.77\00:01:54.83
And Moses commanded the children
of Israel according to the word
00:01:54.86\00:01:58.99
of the Lord, saying, the
tribe of the sons of Joseph
00:01:59.02\00:02:02.40
hath said well. This is
the thing which the Lord doth
00:02:02.43\00:02:06.57
command concerning the
daughters of Zelophehad, saying,
00:02:06.60\00:02:10.00
Let them marry to whom they
think best; only to the family
00:02:10.03\00:02:14.32
of the tribe of their
father shall they marry.
00:02:14.35\00:02:16.50
So shall not the inheritance
of the children of Israel remove
00:02:16.53\00:02:20.84
from tribe to tribe: for every
one of the children of Israel
00:02:20.87\00:02:24.59
shall keep himself to
the inheritance of the tribe
00:02:24.62\00:02:27.90
of his fathers. And
every daughter, that possesseth
00:02:27.93\00:02:31.82
an inheritance in any
tribe of the children of Israel
00:02:31.85\00:02:34.72
shall be wife unto one of
the family of the tribe of her
00:02:34.75\00:02:38.59
father, that the children
of Israel may enjoy every man
00:02:38.62\00:02:41.96
the inheritance of his fathers.
Neither shall the inheritance
00:02:41.99\00:02:46.39
remove from one tribe to
another tribe; but every one
00:02:46.42\00:02:49.99
of the tribes of the children
of Israel shall keep himself
00:02:50.02\00:02:52.72
to his own inheritance. Even
as the Lord commanded Moses,
00:02:52.75\00:02:57.06
so did the
daughters of Zelophehad:
00:02:57.09\00:02:59.84
For Mahlah, Tirzah, and
Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah,
00:02:59.87\00:03:04.39
the daughters of Zelophehad
were married unto their father's
00:03:04.42\00:03:08.06
brother's sons: And they
were married into the families
00:03:08.09\00:03:11.96
of the sons of
Manasseh, the son of Joseph,
00:03:11.99\00:03:15.01
and their inheritance remained
in the tribe of the family
00:03:15.04\00:03:18.39
of their father. These are the
commandments and the judgments,
00:03:18.42\00:03:21.91
which the Lord
commanded by the hand of Moses
00:03:21.94\00:03:24.16
unto the children of
Israel in the plains of Moab
00:03:24.19\00:03:27.53
by Jordan, near Jericho.
00:03:27.56\00:03:29.98
And now we're going to pick
up in the book of Deuteronomy
00:03:30.01\00:03:34.55
chapter one, verse
one, the King James Version
00:03:34.58\00:03:38.18
These be the words which
Moses spake unto all Israel
00:03:38.21\00:03:42.81
on this side Jordan, in the
wilderness, in the plain over
00:03:42.84\00:03:46.03
against the Red sea, between
Paran and Tophel, and Laban,
00:03:46.06\00:03:49.82
And Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
(There are 11 days' journey
00:03:49.85\00:03:55.06
from Horeb by the way of
mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea.)
00:03:55.09\00:03:58.97
And it came to pass in the
40th year, in the 11th month,
00:03:59.00\00:04:03.77
on the first day of the
month, that Moses spake unto the
00:04:03.80\00:04:06.99
children of Israel according
unto all that the Lord had
00:04:07.02\00:04:09.57
given him in commandment unto
them; After he had slain Sihon
00:04:09.60\00:04:14.50
the king of the Amorites,
which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og.
00:04:14.53\00:04:18.23
the king of Bashan, which
dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
00:04:18.26\00:04:21.74
on this side Jordan, in the land
of Moab, began Moses to declare
00:04:21.77\00:04:27.15
this law, saying, The Lord
our God spake unto us in Horeb,
00:04:27.18\00:04:31.65
saying, Ye have dwelt
long enough in this mount:
00:04:31.68\00:04:34.34
Turn you, and take your
journey and go to the mount
00:04:34.37\00:04:37.92
of the Amorites, and unto
all the places nigh thereunto,
00:04:37.95\00:04:41.36
in the plain, in the hills, and
in the vale, and in the south,
00:04:41.39\00:04:44.46
and by the sea side, to
the land of the Canaanites,
00:04:44.49\00:04:47.91
and unto Lebanon,
unto the great river,
00:04:47.94\00:04:50.35
the river Euphrates. Behold,
I have set the land before you:
00:04:50.38\00:04:55.55
go in and possess the land which
the Lord sware unto your fathers
00:04:55.58\00:04:59.42
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
to give unto them and to their
00:04:59.45\00:05:02.72
seed after them. And I spake
unto you at that time, saying,
00:05:02.75\00:05:06.64
I am not able to
bear you myself alone:
00:05:06.67\00:05:09.79
The Lord your God hath
multiplied you, and, behold,
00:05:09.82\00:05:13.12
ye are this day as the
stars of heaven for multitude.
00:05:13.15\00:05:16.46
(The Lord God of your fathers
make you a thousand times
00:05:16.49\00:05:20.66
so many more as ye are, and
bless you, as he hath promised
00:05:20.69\00:05:25.08
you!) How can I myself
alone bear your cumbrance,
00:05:25.11\00:05:29.94
and your
burden, and your strife?
00:05:29.97\00:05:31.84
take you wise men, and
understanding, and known
00:05:31.87\00:05:35.01
among your tribes, and I
will make them rulers over you.
00:05:35.04\00:05:37.53
And ye answered me, and said,
The thing which thou hast spoken
00:05:37.56\00:05:40.99
is good for us to do. So I
took the chief of your tribes,
00:05:41.02\00:05:44.20
wise men, and known, and
made them heads over you,
00:05:44.23\00:05:47.27
captains over thousands,
and captains over hundreds,
00:05:47.30\00:05:50.10
and captains over
fifties, and captains over tens,
00:05:50.13\00:05:53.43
and officers among your tribes.
And I charged your judges
00:05:53.46\00:05:56.75
at that time, saying, Hear the
causes between your brethren,
00:05:56.78\00:06:00.18
and judge righteously between
every man and his brother,
00:06:00.21\00:06:03.48
and the stranger that is
with him. Ye shall not respect
00:06:03.51\00:06:07.81
persons in judgment; but ye
shall hear the small as well as
00:06:07.84\00:06:11.54
the great; ye shall not
be afraid of the face of man;
00:06:11.57\00:06:14.83
for the judgment is God's:
and the cause that is too hard
00:06:14.86\00:06:18.78
for you, bring it unto
me, and I will hear it.
00:06:18.81\00:06:22.25
And I commanded you at
that time all the things
00:06:22.28\00:06:25.85
which you should do. And
when we departed from Horeb,
00:06:25.88\00:06:28.41
we went through all that
great and terrible wilderness,
00:06:28.44\00:06:30.86
which ye saw be the way of
the mountain of the Amorites,
00:06:30.89\00:06:33.77
as the Lord our God commanded
us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea
00:06:33.80\00:06:38.02
And I said unto you, Ye
are come unto the mountain
00:06:38.05\00:06:41.13
of the Amorites, which the
Lord our God doth give unto us.
00:06:41.16\00:06:44.01
Behold, the Lord thy God
hath set the land before thee:
00:06:44.04\00:06:47.61
go up and possess it, as
the Lord God of thy fathers
00:06:47.64\00:06:51.04
hath said unto thee; fear
not, neither be discouraged.
00:06:51.07\00:06:54.21
And ye came near unto me
every one of you, and said,
00:06:54.24\00:06:58.32
We will send men before us,
and they shall search us out
00:06:58.35\00:07:01.98
the land, and bring us word
again by what way we must go up,
00:07:02.01\00:07:05.50
and into what cities we shall
come. And the saying pleased me
00:07:05.53\00:07:09.35
well, and I took twelve
men of you, one of a tribe:
00:07:09.38\00:07:11.73
And they turned and
went up into the mountain,
00:07:11.76\00:07:14.23
and came unto the valley of
Eshcol, and searched it out.
00:07:14.26\00:07:17.55
And they took of the fruit
of the land in their hands,
00:07:17.58\00:07:20.85
and brought it down unto
us, and brought us word again,
00:07:20.88\00:07:23.26
and said, It is a good
land which the Lord our God
00:07:23.29\00:07:26.20
doth give us. Notwithstanding
ye would not go up,
00:07:26.23\00:07:30.90
but rebelled against the
commandment of the Lord your God
00:07:30.93\00:07:34.49
and ye murmured in your tents,
and said, Because the Lord
00:07:34.52\00:07:38.41
hated us, he hath brought us
forth out of the land of Egypt,
00:07:38.44\00:07:41.17
to deliver us into the hand
of the Amorites, to destroy us.
00:07:41.20\00:07:43.92
Whither shall we go up?
Our brethren have discouraged
00:07:43.95\00:07:47.14
our heart, saying, The people
is greater and taller than we;
00:07:47.17\00:07:50.45
the cities are great and walled
up to heaven; and moreover we
00:07:50.48\00:07:55.00
have seen the sons
of the Anakims there.
00:07:55.03\00:07:57.00
Then I said unto you, Dread
not neither be afraid of them.
00:07:57.03\00:08:02.52
The Lord your God which
goeth before you, he shall fight
00:08:02.55\00:08:07.43
for you, according to all
that he did for you in Egypt
00:08:07.46\00:08:10.62
before your eyes;
and in the wilderness,
00:08:10.65\00:08:12.72
where thou hast seen how
that the Lord thy God bare thee,
00:08:12.75\00:08:16.67
as a man doth bare his son,
in all the way that ye went,
00:08:16.70\00:08:20.23
until ye came into this place.
Yet in this thing ye did not
00:08:20.26\00:08:25.41
believe the Lord your God,
who went in the way before you,
00:08:25.44\00:08:29.21
to search you out a
place to pitch your tents in,
00:08:29.24\00:08:32.18
in fire by night, to shew
you by what way ye should go,
00:08:32.21\00:08:35.63
and in a cloud by day.
And the Lord heard the voice
00:08:35.66\00:08:39.60
of your words, and was
wroth, and sware, saying,
00:08:39.63\00:08:43.15
Surely there shall not
one of these men of this evil
00:08:43.18\00:08:46.41
generation see that good
land, which I sware to give
00:08:46.44\00:08:50.07
unto your fathers, save
Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
00:08:50.10\00:08:53.88
he shall see it, and to him will
I give the land that he hath
00:08:53.91\00:08:57.24
trodden upon, and to
his children because he
00:08:57.27\00:09:00.41
hath wholly followed the Lord.
Also the Lord was angry with me
00:09:00.44\00:09:05.82
for your sakes, saying, Thou
also shalt not go in thither:
00:09:05.85\00:09:10.34
But Joshua the son of Nun,
which standeth before thee,
00:09:10.37\00:09:14.28
he shall go in
thither: encourage him:
00:09:14.31\00:09:18.26
for he shall cause
Israel to inherit it. Moreover
00:09:18.29\00:09:23.11
your little ones which
ye said should be a prey,
00:09:23.14\00:09:26.04
and your children, which
in that day had no knowledge
00:09:26.07\00:09:28.42
between good and evil,
they shall go in thither,
00:09:28.45\00:09:31.75
and unto them will I give
it, and they shall possess it.
00:09:31.78\00:09:36.35
But as for you, turn
you, and take your journey
00:09:36.38\00:09:40.33
into the wilderness by
the way of the Red sea.
00:09:40.36\00:09:43.15
Then ye answered and said
unto me, We have sinned against
00:09:43.18\00:09:47.76
the Lord, we will go up
and fight, according to all
00:09:47.79\00:09:50.70
that the Lord our God commanded
us. And when ye had girded
00:09:50.73\00:09:53.41
on every man his weapons
of war, ye were ready to go up
00:09:53.44\00:09:56.15
into the hill. And the Lord
said unto me, Say unto them,
00:09:56.18\00:10:00.75
Go not up, neither
fight; for I am not among you;
00:10:00.78\00:10:05.73
lest ye be smitten before your
enemies. So I spake unto you;
00:10:05.76\00:10:11.15
and ye would not hear, but
rebelled against the commandment
00:10:11.18\00:10:14.19
of the Lord and went
presumptuously up into the hill.
00:10:14.22\00:10:16.91
And the Amorites, which dwelt in
that mountain, came out against
00:10:16.94\00:10:20.48
you, and chased you, as bees
do, and destroyed you in Seir,
00:10:20.51\00:10:24.82
even unto Hormah.
And ye returned and wept
00:10:24.85\00:10:28.63
before the Lord; but the Lord
would not hearken to your voice,
00:10:28.66\00:10:32.95
nor give ear unto you. So
ye abode in Kadesh many days,
00:10:32.98\00:10:37.11
according unto the
days that ye abode there.
00:10:37.14\00:10:40.50
Continuing in the book
of Deuteronomy, chapter 2
00:10:40.53\00:10:44.40
and this is the
King James version.
00:10:44.43\00:10:46.01
Then we turned, and took
our journey into the wilderness
00:10:46.04\00:10:49.77
by the way of the Red
sea, as the Lord spake unto me
00:10:49.80\00:10:52.44
and we compassed Mount Seir
many days. And the Lord spake
00:10:52.47\00:10:57.04
unto me, saying, Ye
have compassed this mountain
00:10:57.07\00:10:59.62
long enough: turn you northward
and command thou the people
00:10:59.65\00:11:04.10
saying, Ye are to pass through
the coast of your brethren
00:11:04.13\00:11:06.75
the children of
Esau, which dwell in Seir;
00:11:06.78\00:11:09.47
and they shall be afraid
of you: take ye good heed
00:11:09.50\00:11:13.77
unto yourselves
therefore: Meddle not with them;
00:11:13.80\00:11:16.60
for I will not give you of their
land, no, not so much as a foot
00:11:16.63\00:11:21.11
breadth; because I have
given mount Seir unto Esau
00:11:21.14\00:11:24.57
for a possession. Ye shall
buy meat of them for money,
00:11:24.60\00:11:28.40
that ye may eat; and ye
shall also buy water of them for
00:11:28.43\00:11:31.79
money that ye may drink. For the
Lord thy God hath blessed thee
00:11:31.82\00:11:35.73
in all the works of thy
hand: he knoweth thy walking
00:11:35.76\00:11:39.82
through this great
wilderness: these forty years
00:11:39.85\00:11:43.07
the Lord hath been with
thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
00:11:43.10\00:11:47.52
And when we passed by from our
brethren the children of Esau,
00:11:47.55\00:11:52.05
which dwelt in Seir, through
the way of the plain from Elath,
00:11:52.08\00:11:55.71
and from Eziongaber, we turned
and passed by the way of the
00:11:55.74\00:11:59.31
wilderness of Moab.
And the Lord said unto me,
00:11:59.34\00:12:01.94
Distress not the Moabites,
neither contend with them
00:12:01.97\00:12:05.09
in battle: for I will
not give thee of their land
00:12:05.12\00:12:07.99
for a possession; because I
have given Ar unto the children
00:12:08.02\00:12:11.31
of Lot for a possession.
The Emims dwelt therein
00:12:11.34\00:12:15.39
in times past, a people
great, and many, and tall,
00:12:15.42\00:12:18.99
as the Anakims; which also were
accounted giants, as the Anakims
00:12:19.02\00:12:23.68
but the Moabites call them Emims
00:12:23.71\00:12:25.96
The Horims also
dwelt in Seir beforetime;
00:12:25.99\00:12:28.98
but the children of
Esau succeeded them when they
00:12:29.01\00:12:31.02
had destroyed them from before
them and dwelt in their stead;
00:12:31.05\00:12:34.04
as Israel did unto the land of
his possession, which the Lord
00:12:34.07\00:12:37.13
gave unto them. Now rise
up, said I, and get you over
00:12:37.16\00:12:41.61
the brook Zered. And we
went over the brook Zered.
00:12:41.64\00:12:45.10
And the space in which
we came from Kadesh-barnea,
00:12:45.13\00:12:48.62
until we were come over the
brook Zered, was 30 and 8 years;
00:12:48.65\00:12:52.99
until all the generation of
the men of war were wasted out
00:12:53.02\00:12:57.73
from among the host, as
the Lord sware unto them.
00:12:57.76\00:13:00.72
For indeed the hand of
the Lord was against them,
00:13:00.75\00:13:04.20
to destroy them from among the
host, until they were consumed.
00:13:04.24\00:13:08.09
So it came to pass, when
all the men of war were consumed
00:13:08.12\00:13:11.86
and dead from among the people,
that the Lord spake unto me,
00:13:11.89\00:13:15.72
saying, Thou are to pass over
through Ar, the coast of Moab,
00:13:15.75\00:13:19.85
this day: And when thou comest
nigh over against the children
00:13:19.88\00:13:23.72
of Ammon, distress them
not, nor meddle with them:
00:13:23.75\00:13:26.61
for I will not give the of the
land of the children of Ammon
00:13:26.64\00:13:29.30
any possession; because I
have given it unto the children
00:13:29.33\00:13:32.35
of Lot for a possession. (That
also was accounted a land of
00:13:32.38\00:13:36.28
giants: giants dwelt therein
in old time; and the Ammonites
00:13:36.31\00:13:39.40
cal them Zamzummims; a people
great, and many, and tall,
00:13:39.43\00:13:43.84
as the Anakims; but the
Lord destroyed them before them;
00:13:43.87\00:13:46.96
and they succeeded them,
and dwelt in their stead:
00:13:46.99\00:13:50.11
As he did to the children
of Esau, which dwelt in Seir
00:13:50.14\00:13:54.12
when he destroyed the
Horems from before them;
00:13:54.15\00:13:56.41
and they succeeded
them, and dwelt in their stead
00:13:56.44\00:13:58.36
even unto this day: And the
Avims which dwelt in Hazerim,
00:13:58.39\00:14:02.57
even unto Assah, and
Caphtorims, which came forth
00:14:02.60\00:14:07.27
out of Captor, destroyed
them, and dwelt in their stead.)
00:14:07.30\00:14:10.15
Rise ye up, take your journey,
and pass over the river Arnon:
00:14:10.18\00:14:15.07
behold, I have given into
thine hand Sihon the Amorite,
00:14:15.10\00:14:19.67
king of Heshbon, and his
land: begin to possess it,
00:14:19.70\00:14:23.75
and contend with him in battle.
00:14:23.78\00:14:26.28
Thank you for joining with me to
read the Word of God today and
00:14:26.31\00:14:30.45
we'll pick up this
wonderful story the next time
00:14:30.48\00:14:32.43
we're together. Goodbye.
