Hello, and welcome
to His Words are Life.
00:00:17.00\00:00:19.23
I'm Kelly Mowrer and thank
you for joining again with me
00:00:19.26\00:00:21.86
to read the word of God. When
we were last together, Moses had
00:00:21.89\00:00:25.53
gathered the Israelites together
and was reviewing with them
00:00:25.56\00:00:29.00
their history and how God
had freed them from Egypt, and
00:00:29.03\00:00:32.92
brought them through the
wilderness. He was reviewing
00:00:32.95\00:00:35.63
both their disobediences and
God's mercy and forgiveness and
00:00:35.66\00:00:40.42
protection and care
all on that journey.
00:00:40.45\00:00:42.27
Before we pick up this story
of Moses and the Israelites,
00:00:42.30\00:00:45.72
Let's pray together,
Dear Lord, Thank you for
00:00:45.75\00:00:48.54
your guidance and protection in
each of our lives and thank you
00:00:48.57\00:00:51.80
that your counsel is as alive
as is a two-edged sword for
00:00:51.83\00:00:56.93
us to day to bring us
safely to the land of promise
00:00:56.96\00:01:00.42
in heaven with you soon. Please
be with us now as we read.
00:01:00.45\00:01:03.63
We love you so much and
thank you for loving us. Amen
00:01:03.66\00:01:06.25
When we were leaving off
last time it was in Deuteronomy,
00:01:06.28\00:01:12.06
chapter 2, and we're going to
pick up there in the middle of
00:01:12.09\00:01:15.88
the chapter,
starting with verse 25.
00:01:15.91\00:01:17.98
This is the King James Version.
00:01:18.01\00:01:19.82
This is Moses speaking
to the children of Israel.
00:01:19.85\00:01:23.23
This day will I begin to
put the dread of thee and
00:01:23.26\00:01:29.53
the fear of thee upon the
nations that are under the
00:01:29.56\00:01:31.60
whole heaven, who shall hear
report of thee and shall tremble
00:01:31.63\00:01:34.56
and be in anguish because
of thee. And I sent messengers
00:01:34.59\00:01:37.96
out of the wilderness
of Kedemoth unto Sihon
00:01:38.00\00:01:41.10
king of Heshbon with words
of peace, saying, Let me pass
00:01:41.13\00:01:44.38
through thy land: I will
go along by the high way,
00:01:44.41\00:01:47.00
I will neither turn right unto
the right hand nor to the left
00:01:47.03\00:01:50.32
Thou shalt sell me meat
for money, that I may eat;
00:01:50.35\00:01:53.74
and give me water for
money that I may drink:
00:01:53.77\00:01:56.09
only I will pass
through on my feet;
00:01:56.12\00:01:58.43
(As the children of Esau which
dwell in Seir, and the Moabites
00:01:58.46\00:02:02.23
which dwell in Ar, did unto me;)
until I shall pass over Jordan
00:02:02.26\00:02:06.20
into the land which
the Lord our God giveth us.
00:02:06.23\00:02:08.30
But Sihon king of Heshbon
would not let us pass by him:
00:02:08.33\00:02:12.87
for the Lord thy God hardened
his spirit, and made his heart
00:02:12.90\00:02:16.68
obstinate that he might
deliver him into thy hand,
00:02:16.71\00:02:20.07
as appeareth this day.
And the Lord said unto me,
00:02:20.10\00:02:23.29
Behold, I have begun to give
Sihon and his land before thee:
00:02:23.32\00:02:27.47
begin to possess, that
thou mayest inherit his land.
00:02:27.50\00:02:31.87
Then Sihon came out against us,
he and all his people to fight
00:02:31.90\00:02:36.57
at Jahaz. And the Lord our
God delivered him before us;
00:02:36.60\00:02:40.09
and we smote him, and
his sons, and all his people.
00:02:40.12\00:02:43.85
And we took all his
cities at that time, and utterly
00:02:43.88\00:02:46.34
destroyed the men, and
the women, and the little ones
00:02:46.38\00:02:49.75
at every city, we left
none to remain: Only the cattle
00:02:49.78\00:02:53.12
we took for a prey unto
ourselves, and the spoil
00:02:53.15\00:02:55.59
of the cities which we took.
>From Aroer, which is by the
00:02:55.62\00:02:59.64
brink of the river of Arnon,
and from the city that is by
00:02:59.67\00:03:02.43
the river, even unto
Gilead, there was not one city
00:03:02.46\00:03:06.34
too strong for us: the Lord
our God delivered all unto us:
00:03:06.37\00:03:11.52
Only unto the land
of the children of Ammon
00:03:11.55\00:03:14.65
thou camest not, nor unto
any place of the river Jabbok,
00:03:14.68\00:03:18.16
nor unto the cities in the
mountains, nor unto whatsoever
00:03:18.19\00:03:21.92
the Lord our God
forbad us. Continuing in
00:03:21.95\00:03:25.40
the book of Deuteronomy, chapter
3, and this is the King James
00:03:25.43\00:03:28.72
Version. Then we turned,
and went up the way to Bashan:
00:03:28.75\00:03:32.93
and Og, the king of
Bashan came out against us,
00:03:32.96\00:03:35.90
he and all his people, to battle
at Edrei. And the Lord said
00:03:35.93\00:03:40.47
unto me, Fear him not:
for I will deliver him,
00:03:40.50\00:03:43.34
and all his people,
and his land into thy hand.
00:03:43.37\00:03:46.94
and thou shalt do unto
him as thou didst unto Sihon,
00:03:46.97\00:03:50.44
king of the Amorites,
which dwelt at Heshbon.
00:03:50.47\00:03:52.57
So the Lord our God delivered
into our hands, Og also,
00:03:52.60\00:03:57.14
the king of Bashan, and all his
people: and we smote him until
00:03:57.17\00:04:00.64
none was left to him remaining.
And we took all his cities
00:04:00.67\00:04:04.46
at that time, there was not a
city which we took not from them
00:04:04.49\00:04:07.49
threescore cities,
all the region of Argob,
00:04:07.52\00:04:10.25
the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
All these cities were fenced
00:04:10.28\00:04:13.79
with high walls, gates,
and bars; beside unwalled towns
00:04:13.82\00:04:18.17
a great many. And we
utterly destroyed them,
00:04:18.20\00:04:21.42
as we did unto Sihon king
of Heshbon, utterly destroying
00:04:21.45\00:04:25.52
the men, women, and children of
every city. But all the cattle,
00:04:25.55\00:04:29.88
and the spoil of the cities,
we took for a prey to ourselves.
00:04:29.91\00:04:33.13
And we took at that time
out of the hand of the two kings
00:04:33.16\00:04:36.95
of the Amorites the land
that was on this side Jordan,
00:04:36.98\00:04:40.92
from the river of Arnon
unto mount Hermon; (Which Hermon
00:04:40.95\00:04:45.09
the Sidonians call Sirion; and
the Amorites call it Shenir;)
00:04:45.12\00:04:49.88
All the cities of the plain,
and all Gilead, and all Bashan,
00:04:49.91\00:04:54.44
unto Salchah and Edrei, cities
of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
00:04:54.47\00:04:59.30
For only Og king of
Bashan remained of the remnant
00:04:59.33\00:05:02.99
of giants; behold, his
bedstead was a bedstead of iron;
00:05:03.02\00:05:07.19
is it not in Rabbath
of the children of Ammon?
00:05:07.22\00:05:10.69
nine cubits was
the length thereof,
00:05:10.72\00:05:13.10
and four cubits
the breadth of it,
00:05:13.13\00:05:15.08
after the cubit of a man. And
this land, which we possessed
00:05:15.11\00:05:19.46
at that time, from Aroer,
which is by the river Arnon,
00:05:19.49\00:05:22.81
and half mount Gilead, and the
cities thereof, gave I unto the
00:05:22.84\00:05:28.19
Reubenites and to the
Gadites. And the rest of Gilead,
00:05:28.22\00:05:32.19
and all Bashan,
being the kingdom of Og,
00:05:32.22\00:05:34.80
gave I unto the half tribe
of Manasseh; all the region of
00:05:34.83\00:05:39.34
Argob, with all Bashan, which
was called the land of giants.
00:05:39.37\00:05:43.66
Jair the son of Manasseh
took all the country of Argob
00:05:43.69\00:05:47.68
unto the coasts of Geshuri
and Maachathi; and called them
00:05:47.71\00:05:52.15
after his own
name, Bashanhavothjair,
00:05:52.18\00:05:55.25
unto this day. And I
gave Gilead unto Machir.
00:05:55.28\00:05:59.20
And unto the Reubenites and
unto the Gadites I gave from
00:05:59.23\00:06:03.34
Gilead even unto the
river Arnon half the valley,
00:06:03.37\00:06:06.24
and the border even
unto the river Jabbok,
00:06:06.27\00:06:09.24
which is the border
of the children of Ammon;
00:06:09.27\00:06:11.55
The plain also, and
Jordan, and the coast thereof,
00:06:11.58\00:06:15.78
from Chinereth even
unto the sea of the plain,
00:06:15.81\00:06:18.81
even the salt sea,
under Ashdothpisgah eastward.
00:06:18.84\00:06:22.63
And I commanded you at that
time, saying, The Lord your God
00:06:22.66\00:06:26.93
hath given you this land to
possess it: ye shall pass over
00:06:26.96\00:06:31.08
armed before your
brethren the children of Israel,
00:06:31.11\00:06:33.73
all that are meet for the war.
But your wives, and your little
00:06:33.76\00:06:38.55
ones and your cattle,
00:06:38.58\00:06:41.24
shall abide in your cities which
I have given you; until the Lord
00:06:41.27\00:06:46.12
have given rest unto your
brethren, as well as unto you,
00:06:46.15\00:06:49.58
and until they also possess
the land which the Lord your God
00:06:49.61\00:06:53.19
hath given them beyond
Jordan: and then shall ye return
00:06:53.22\00:06:56.60
every man unto his possession
which I have given you.
00:06:56.63\00:06:59.49
And I commanded Joshua at that
time, saying, Thine eyes have
00:06:59.52\00:07:04.96
seen all that the Lord your
God hath done unto these 2 kings
00:07:04.99\00:07:08.90
so shall the Lord do
unto all the kingdoms
00:07:08.93\00:07:12.35
whither thou passest.
Ye shall not fear them:
00:07:12.38\00:07:15.45
for the Lord your God
he shall fight for you.
00:07:15.48\00:07:19.34
And I besought the Lord at
that time, saying, O Lord God,
00:07:19.37\00:07:23.50
thou hast begun to shew
thy servant thy greatness,
00:07:23.53\00:07:27.03
and thy mighty hand: for
what God is there in heaven
00:07:27.06\00:07:30.26
or in earth, that can
do according to thy works,
00:07:30.29\00:07:32.57
and according to thy might?
I pray thee, let me go over,
00:07:32.60\00:07:37.06
and see the good land
that is beyond Jordan,
00:07:37.09\00:07:40.21
that goodly
mountain, and Lebanon.
00:07:40.24\00:07:41.96
But the Lord was wroth
with me for your sakes,
00:07:41.99\00:07:46.05
and would not hear me:
and the Lord said unto me,
00:07:46.08\00:07:49.57
let it suffice thee; speak
no more unto me of this matter.
00:07:49.60\00:07:53.94
Get thee up into the top of
Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes
00:07:53.97\00:07:59.26
westward, and northward,
and southward, and eastward,
00:07:59.29\00:08:03.09
and behold it with thine
eyes; for thou shalt not go over
00:08:03.12\00:08:07.75
this Jordan. But charge
Joshua, and encourage him,
00:08:07.78\00:08:13.10
and strengthen him: for he shall
go over before this people,
00:08:13.13\00:08:17.70
and he shall cause
them to inherit the land
00:08:17.73\00:08:20.16
which thou shalt see.
So we abode in the valley
00:08:20.19\00:08:24.16
over against Bethpeor.
00:08:24.19\00:08:26.37
Continuing in
Derteronomy chapter four.
00:08:26.40\00:08:29.95
Now therefore hearken, O Israel,
unto the statutes and unto
00:08:29.98\00:08:35.63
the judgments, which I
teach you, for to do them,
00:08:35.66\00:08:39.09
that ye may live, and go in and
possess the land which the Lord
00:08:39.12\00:08:43.99
God of your fathers giveth you.
Ye shall not add unto the word
00:08:44.02\00:08:48.04
which I command you, neither
shall ye diminish aught from it,
00:08:48.07\00:08:51.93
that ye may
keep the commandments
00:08:51.96\00:08:53.95
of the Lord your
God which I command you.
00:08:53.98\00:08:55.97
Your eyes have seen what the
Lord did because of Baal-peor:
00:08:56.00\00:09:00.16
for all the men that followed
Baal-peor, the Lord thy God
00:09:00.19\00:09:03.95
hath destroyed them from among
you. But ye that did cleave
00:09:03.98\00:09:08.05
unto the Lord your God are
alive every one of you this day.
00:09:08.08\00:09:11.91
Behold, I have taught
you statutes and judgments,
00:09:11.94\00:09:15.96
even as the Lord
my God commanded me,
00:09:15.99\00:09:18.24
that ye should do so in the land
whither ye go to possess it.
00:09:18.27\00:09:22.23
Keep therefore and do
them; for this is your wisdom
00:09:22.26\00:09:27.45
and your understanding
in the sight of the nations,
00:09:27.48\00:09:29.73
which shall hear all
these statutes, and say,
00:09:29.76\00:09:32.29
Surely this great nation is a
wise and understanding people.
00:09:32.32\00:09:35.58
For what nation is there
so great, who hath God so nigh
00:09:35.61\00:09:40.54
unto them, as the Lord our God
is in all things that we call
00:09:40.57\00:09:45.03
upon him for? And what
nation is there so geat,
00:09:45.06\00:09:48.39
that hath statutes and judgments
so righteous as all this law,
00:09:48.42\00:09:52.12
which I set before you
this day? Only take heed to
00:09:52.15\00:09:56.56
thyself, and keep thy soul
diligently, lest thou forget
00:09:56.59\00:10:00.30
the things which
thine eyes have seen,
00:10:00.33\00:10:02.33
and lest they depart from thy
heart all the days of thy life:
00:10:02.36\00:10:05.30
but teach them thy
sons, and thy sons' sons;
00:10:05.33\00:10:09.70
Specially the day that thou
stoodest before the Lord thy God
00:10:09.73\00:10:13.38
in Horeb, when the Lord said
unto me, Gather me the people
00:10:13.41\00:10:16.57
together, and I will make them
to hear my words, that they may
00:10:16.60\00:10:20.31
learn to fear me all the
days that they shall live
00:10:20.34\00:10:23.33
upon the earth, and that
they may teach their children.
00:10:23.36\00:10:26.77
And ye came near and
stood under the mountain;
00:10:26.80\00:10:30.32
and the mountain burned with
fire unto the midst of heaven,
00:10:30.35\00:10:33.74
with darkness,
clouds, and thick darkness.
00:10:33.77\00:10:36.01
And the Lord spake unto you
out of the midst of the fire:
00:10:36.04\00:10:38.97
ye heard the voice of the
words, but saw no similitude;
00:10:39.00\00:10:43.14
only ye heard a voice. And he
declared unto you his covenant,
00:10:43.17\00:10:47.97
which he commanded you to
perform, even 10 commandments;
00:10:48.00\00:10:51.03
and he wrote them
upon two tables of stone.
00:10:51.06\00:10:54.14
And the Lord commanded me at
that time to teach you statutes
00:10:54.17\00:10:57.59
and judgments, that ye might do
them in the land whither ye go
00:10:57.62\00:11:00.45
over to possess it.
Take ye therefore good heed
00:11:00.48\00:11:04.45
unto yourselves; for ye saw no
manner of similitude on the day
00:11:04.48\00:11:08.55
that the Lord spake unto
you in Horeb out of the midst
00:11:08.58\00:11:11.80
of the fire: Lest ye
corrupt yourselves, and make
00:11:11.83\00:11:15.69
you a graven image, the
similitude of any figure,
00:11:15.72\00:11:18.63
the likeness of male or female,
the likeness of any beast
00:11:18.66\00:11:21.31
that is on the earth, the
likeness of any winged fowl
00:11:21.34\00:11:23.71
that flieth in the air,
the likeness of anything
00:11:23.74\00:11:26.61
that creepeth on the ground,
the likeness of any fish that
00:11:26.64\00:11:29.44
is in the waters
beneath the earth:
00:11:29.47\00:11:30.87
And lest thou lift up
thine eyes unto heaven,
00:11:30.90\00:11:34.96
and when thou seest the sun,
and the moon, and the stars,
00:11:34.99\00:11:38.08
even all the host of heaven,
shouldest be driven to worship
00:11:38.11\00:11:40.77
them and serve them, which
the Lord thy God hath divided
00:11:40.80\00:11:45.11
unto all nations
under the whole heaven.
00:11:45.14\00:11:47.49
But the Lord hath taken
you, and brought you forth
00:11:47.52\00:11:51.93
out of the iron
furnace, even out of Egypt,
00:11:51.96\00:11:54.35
to be unto him a people of
inheritance, as ye are this day.
00:11:54.38\00:11:58.93
Furthermore, the Lord was angry
with me for your sakes, and
00:11:58.97\00:12:02.99
sware that I should not go
over Jordan, and that I should
00:12:03.02\00:12:07.01
not go in unto that good land,
which the Lord thy God giveth
00:12:07.04\00:12:10.45
the for an inheritance: But
I must die in this land, I must
00:12:10.48\00:12:15.12
not go over Jordan: but
ye shall go over, and possess
00:12:15.15\00:12:18.89
that good land. Take heed unto
yourselves, lest ye forget the
00:12:18.92\00:12:22.87
covenant of the Lord your
God, which he made with you, and
00:12:22.90\00:12:26.74
make you a graven image,
or the likeness of any thing,
00:12:26.77\00:12:29.05
which the Lord thy God hath
forbidden thee. For the Lord
00:12:29.08\00:12:32.58
thy God is a consuming
fire, even a jealous God.
00:12:32.61\00:12:36.15
When thou shalt beget children,
and children's children,
00:12:36.18\00:12:39.95
ye shall have remained long
in the land, and shall corrupt
00:12:39.98\00:12:43.74
yourselves, and make a
graven image, or the likeness
00:12:43.77\00:12:46.07
of anything and shall do evil
in the sight of the Lord thy God
00:12:46.10\00:12:48.99
to provoke him to anger: I
call heaven and earth to witness
00:12:49.02\00:12:53.37
against you this day, that
ye shall soon utterly perish
00:12:53.40\00:12:56.86
from off the land whereunto
ye go over Jordan to possess it;
00:12:56.89\00:13:00.66
ye shall not prolong your
days upon it, but shall utterly
00:13:00.69\00:13:04.63
be destroyed. And the Lord shall
scatter you among the nations,
00:13:04.66\00:13:08.67
and ye shall be left few
in number among the heathen,
00:13:08.70\00:13:11.60
whither the Lord shall lead you.
And there ye shall serve gods
00:13:11.63\00:13:15.59
the work of men's hands, wood
and stone, which neither see,
00:13:15.62\00:13:19.54
nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
But if from thence thou shalt
00:13:19.57\00:13:25.58
seek the Lord thy God, thou
shalt find him, if thou seek him
00:13:25.61\00:13:30.08
with all thy heart
and with all thy soul.
00:13:30.11\00:13:33.04
When thou art in tribulation,
and all these things are come
00:13:33.07\00:13:36.74
upon thee, even in the latter
days, if thou turn to the Lord
00:13:36.77\00:13:40.06
thy God and shall be
obedient unto his voice;
00:13:40.09\00:13:43.07
he will not forsake
thee, neither destroy thee,
00:13:45.95\00:13:49.52
nor forget the covenant of
thy fathers which he sware unto
00:13:49.55\00:13:53.84
them. For ask now of
the days that are past,
00:13:53.87\00:13:57.15
which were before thee, since
the day that God created man
00:13:57.18\00:14:00.31
upon the earth, and ask
from the one side of heaven
00:14:00.34\00:14:02.90
unto the other, whether
there hath been any such thing
00:14:02.93\00:14:05.73
as this great thing is,
or hath been heard like it?
00:14:05.76\00:14:09.14
Did ever people hear the voice
of God speaking out of the midst
00:14:09.17\00:14:13.49
of the fire, as thou hast heard
and live? Or hath God assayed
00:14:13.52\00:14:18.59
to go and take him a nation
from the midst of another nation
00:14:18.62\00:14:21.22
by temptations, by signs,
and by wonders, and by war,
00:14:21.25\00:14:24.00
by a mighty hand, and
by a stretched out arm,
00:14:24.03\00:14:26.67
and by great terrors, according
to all that the Lord your God
00:14:26.70\00:14:30.20
did for your in
Egypt before your eyes?
00:14:30.23\00:14:32.59
Thank you for
being with me today.
