Before we start, let's pray together. 00:00:21.24\00:00:24.00 Dear Lord, thank you for a time to come apart to sit and be fed 00:00:24.03\00:00:30.21 through the words that are the very bread of life 00:00:30.24\00:00:33.53 to our hungry heart. Please come now and teach us 00:00:33.56\00:00:39.15 instruct us in the ways that we should go. Help us to learn 00:00:39.18\00:00:42.51 the lessons you have for us for today. We love you so much 00:00:42.54\00:00:45.59 and thank you for loving us. When we were last together, we 00:00:45.62\00:00:50.29 were reading of Moses gathering the Israelites and his long 00:00:50.32\00:00:54.32 recounting to them of all of the leading of God and his pleading 00:00:54.35\00:00:58.72 with them to follow the words of the Lord, and let those words 00:00:58.75\00:01:01.97 bring them a life of prosperity and happiness 00:01:02.00\00:01:05.88 that they would never find any where else. 00:01:05.91\00:01:08.62 We're going to pick it up now in Deuteronomy chapter 10, 00:01:08.65\00:01:11.56 starting with verse 12. This is the King James Version. 00:01:11.59\00:01:15.00 And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, 00:01:15.03\00:01:20.42 but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, 00:01:20.45\00:01:24.69 and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God 00:01:24.72\00:01:28.33 with all thy heart and with all thy soul, 00:01:28.36\00:01:31.06 to keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statutes, 00:01:31.09\00:01:35.20 which I command thee this day for thy good? Behold, the heaven 00:01:35.23\00:01:40.91 and the heaven of heavens is the Lord's thy God, 00:01:40.94\00:01:44.48 the earth also with all that therein is. Only the Lord 00:01:44.51\00:01:49.48 had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose 00:01:49.51\00:01:53.34 their seed after them, even you above all people, 00:01:53.37\00:01:56.55 as it is this day. Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your 00:01:56.58\00:02:02.17 heart and be no more stiff-necked. 00:02:02.20\00:02:05.49 For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, 00:02:05.52\00:02:10.26 a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not 00:02:10.29\00:02:14.87 persons, nor taketh reward: He doth execute the judgment of the 00:02:14.90\00:02:18.86 fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food 00:02:18.89\00:02:23.66 and raiment. Love ye therefore the strangers: 00:02:23.69\00:02:26.83 for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 00:02:26.86\00:02:28.99 Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God; him shalt thou serve, 00:02:29.02\00:02:33.08 and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name. 00:02:33.11\00:02:35.92 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee 00:02:35.95\00:02:42.49 these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen. 00:02:42.52\00:02:45.15 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; 00:02:45.18\00:02:49.54 and now the Lord thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven 00:02:49.57\00:02:53.75 for multitude. We're continuing to read 00:02:53.78\00:02:56.55 in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 11. 00:02:56.58\00:02:58.65 And this is the King James Version. 00:02:58.68\00:03:00.24 Therefore thou shalt love the Lord thy God, 00:03:00.27\00:03:04.50 and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, 00:03:04.53\00:03:07.42 and his commandments, alway. And know ye this day: 00:03:07.45\00:03:11.44 for I speak not with your children which have not known, 00:03:11.47\00:03:15.36 and which have not seen the chastisement of the Lord 00:03:15.39\00:03:17.89 you God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched 00:03:17.92\00:03:20.55 out arm, and his miracles, and his acts, which he did 00:03:20.58\00:03:24.01 in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt 00:03:24.04\00:03:26.94 and unto all his land; and what he did unto the army of Egypt 00:03:26.97\00:03:30.77 and to their horses, and to their chariots; how he made 00:03:30.80\00:03:34.44 the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued 00:03:34.47\00:03:37.45 after you, and how the Lord hath destroyed them unto this day; 00:03:37.48\00:03:41.45 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, 00:03:41.48\00:03:43.91 until ye came into this place; And what he did unto Dathan 00:03:43.94\00:03:48.09 and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: 00:03:48.12\00:03:51.42 how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, 00:03:51.45\00:03:55.14 and their households, and their tents, and all the substance 00:03:55.17\00:03:57.96 that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel: 00:03:57.99\00:04:00.09 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the Lord 00:04:00.12\00:04:03.75 which he did. Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments 00:04:03.78\00:04:07.54 which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in 00:04:07.57\00:04:11.45 and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it; 00:04:11.48\00:04:14.67 And that ye may prolong you days in the land which the Lord sware 00:04:14.70\00:04:18.78 unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, 00:04:18.81\00:04:21.25 a land that floweth with milk and honey. For the land, 00:04:21.28\00:04:26.14 whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, 00:04:26.17\00:04:30.33 from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, 00:04:30.36\00:04:33.44 and waterdst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs: 00:04:33.47\00:04:36.61 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills 00:04:36.64\00:04:41.73 and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven: 00:04:41.76\00:04:45.74 A land which the Lord thy God careth for; 00:04:45.77\00:04:48.82 the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, 00:04:48.85\00:04:52.37 from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year. 00:04:52.40\00:04:55.60 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my 00:04:55.63\00:05:00.55 commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord 00:05:00.58\00:05:04.44 your God, and to serve him with all your heart 00:05:04.47\00:05:07.33 and with all your soul, that I will give you the rain 00:05:07.36\00:05:12.15 of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter 00:05:12.18\00:05:17.04 rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, 00:05:17.07\00:05:20.71 and thine oil. And I will send grass in thy fields 00:05:20.74\00:05:24.87 for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full. 00:05:24.90\00:05:28.14 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, 00:05:28.17\00:05:33.00 and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; 00:05:33.03\00:05:37.60 And then the Lord's wrath be kindled against you, 00:05:37.63\00:05:41.04 and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, 00:05:41.07\00:05:43.79 and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish 00:05:43.82\00:05:47.61 quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth you. 00:05:47.64\00:05:50.22 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart 00:05:50.25\00:05:54.77 and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, 00:05:54.80\00:05:59.04 that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. 00:05:59.07\00:06:02.07 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them 00:06:02.10\00:06:06.25 when thou sittest in thine house and when thou walkest by the way 00:06:06.28\00:06:10.02 when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 00:06:10.05\00:06:12.43 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, 00:06:12.46\00:06:16.19 and upon thy gates: that your days may be multiplied, 00:06:16.22\00:06:19.96 and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord sware 00:06:19.99\00:06:23.27 unto your fathers to give them. as the days of heaven 00:06:23.30\00:06:26.32 upon the earth. For if ye shall diligently keep 00:06:26.35\00:06:30.44 all these commandments which I command you 00:06:30.47\00:06:32.53 to do them, to love the Lord your God, to walk, 00:06:32.56\00:06:36.54 in all his ways and to cleave unto him, then will the Lord 00:06:36.57\00:06:41.18 drive out all these nations from before you. 00:06:41.21\00:06:43.68 And ye shall possess greater nations and mightier 00:06:43.71\00:06:47.38 than yourself. Every place whereon the soles of your feet 00:06:47.41\00:06:51.60 shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness 00:06:51.63\00:06:54.97 and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, 00:06:55.00\00:06:58.51 even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be. 00:06:58.54\00:07:01.41 There shall be no man be able to stand before you: 00:07:01.44\00:07:04.99 for the Lord your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread 00:07:05.02\00:07:08.80 of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, 00:07:08.83\00:07:10.78 as he hath said unto you. Behold I set before you this day 00:07:10.81\00:07:17.86 a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey 00:07:17.89\00:07:23.49 the commandments of the Lord you God, which I command you 00:07:23.52\00:07:26.01 this day: and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments 00:07:26.04\00:07:30.72 of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I 00:07:30.75\00:07:35.45 command you this day, to go after other gods 00:07:35.48\00:07:38.37 which ye have not known. And it shall come to pass, 00:07:38.40\00:07:42.64 when the Lord thy God hath brought thee in unto the land 00:07:42.67\00:07:46.44 whither thou goest to possess it, 00:07:46.47\00:07:48.19 that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, 00:07:48.22\00:07:52.02 and the curse upon mount Ebal. Are they not on the other side 00:07:52.05\00:07:57.47 Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, 00:07:57.50\00:08:00.44 in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the Champaign, 00:08:00.47\00:08:04.14 over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh? 00:08:04.17\00:08:07.27 For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land 00:08:07.30\00:08:11.69 which the Lord your God giveth you and ye shall possess it, 00:08:11.72\00:08:14.97 and dwell therein. And ye shall observe to do all the statutes 00:08:15.00\00:08:20.11 and judgments which I set before you this day. 00:08:20.14\00:08:23.21 We're continuing in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 12 00:08:23.24\00:08:27.52 and this is the King James Version 00:08:27.55\00:08:29.40 These are the statutes and judgments, 00:08:29.43\00:08:34.19 which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the Lord God 00:08:34.22\00:08:37.42 of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days 00:08:37.45\00:08:40.44 that ye live upon the earth. Ye shall utterly destroy 00:08:40.47\00:08:44.18 all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess 00:08:44.21\00:08:47.16 served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, 00:08:47.19\00:08:50.11 and under every green tree: And ye shall overthrow their altars, 00:08:50.14\00:08:54.15 and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; 00:08:54.18\00:08:57.46 and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, 00:08:57.49\00:09:00.85 and destroy the names of them out of that place. 00:09:00.88\00:09:03.62 Ye shall not do so unto the Lord your God. But into the place 00:09:03.65\00:09:09.50 which the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes 00:09:09.53\00:09:11.98 to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, 00:09:12.01\00:09:16.12 and thither thou shalt come: And thither ye shall bring 00:09:16.15\00:09:20.62 your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, 00:09:20.65\00:09:24.04 and heave offerings of your hands, and your vows, 00:09:24.07\00:09:26.66 and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds 00:09:26.69\00:09:30.69 and of your flocks: and there ye shall eat before the Lord 00:09:30.72\00:09:34.66 your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand 00:09:34.69\00:09:38.46 unto, ye and your households, wherein the Lord thy God 00:09:38.49\00:09:42.13 hath blessed thee. Ye shall not do after all the things 00:09:42.16\00:09:46.24 that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right 00:09:46.27\00:09:49.64 in his own eyes. For ye are not as yet come to the rest 00:09:49.67\00:09:54.02 and to the inheritance, which the Lord your God giveth you. 00:09:54.05\00:09:57.17 But when ye go over Jordan and dwell in the land which the Lord 00:09:57.20\00:10:01.65 your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest 00:10:01.68\00:10:05.44 from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell 00:10:05.47\00:10:08.58 safety; then there shall be a place which the Lord your God 00:10:08.61\00:10:12.47 shall choose to call his name to dwell there; thither shall ye 00:10:12.50\00:10:17.09 bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, 00:10:17.12\00:10:19.54 and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering 00:10:19.57\00:10:22.69 of you hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the Lord: 00:10:22.72\00:10:26.72 And ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God, ye, and your sons 00:10:26.75\00:10:31.22 and your daughters, and your menservants, 00:10:31.25\00:10:33.44 and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates 00:10:33.47\00:10:36.78 forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you. 00:10:36.81\00:10:40.82 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings 00:10:40.85\00:10:45.65 in every place that thou seest: But in the place which the Lord 00:10:45.68\00:10:49.41 shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer 00:10:49.44\00:10:53.25 thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command 00:10:53.28\00:10:57.01 thee. Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh 00:10:57.04\00:11:01.23 in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according 00:11:01.26\00:11:04.89 to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee: 00:11:04.92\00:11:07.25 the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, 00:11:07.28\00:11:11.86 and as of the hart. Only ye shall not eat the blood; 00:11:11.89\00:11:16.17 ye shall pour it upon the earth as water. Thou mayest not eat 00:11:16.20\00:11:21.30 within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, 00:11:21.33\00:11:25.21 or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, 00:11:25.24\00:11:29.06 nor any of thy vows which thou vowest nor thy freewill 00:11:29.09\00:11:32.99 offerings or heave offering of thine hand: But thou must eat 00:11:33.02\00:11:36.70 them before the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord thy God 00:11:36.73\00:11:39.26 shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, 00:11:39.29\00:11:42.19 and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite 00:11:42.22\00:11:45.05 that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice 00:11:45.08\00:11:48.47 before the Lord thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands 00:11:48.50\00:11:51.75 unto. Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite 00:11:51.78\00:11:56.75 as long as thou livest upon the earth. 00:11:56.78\00:11:59.00 When the Lord thy God shall enlarge thy border, 00:11:59.04\00:12:02.00 as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say I will eat flesh, 00:12:02.03\00:12:05.72 because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh; 00:12:05.75\00:12:09.88 whatsoever thy soul lusteth after. 00:12:09.91\00:12:11.91 If the place which the which the Lord thy God hath chosen 00:12:11.94\00:12:15.89 to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill 00:12:15.92\00:12:20.33 of thy herd and of they flock, which the Lord hath given thee, 00:12:20.36\00:12:23.24 as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates 00:12:23.27\00:12:26.25 whatsoever thy soul lusteth after. Even as the roebuck 00:12:26.28\00:12:30.88 and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: 00:12:30.91\00:12:33.68 the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike. Only be sure 00:12:33.71\00:12:39.12 that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; 00:12:39.15\00:12:41.92 and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh. 00:12:41.95\00:12:43.94 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth 00:12:43.97\00:12:47.63 as water. Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, 00:12:47.66\00:12:51.60 and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do 00:12:51.63\00:12:55.72 that which is right in the sight of the Lord. 00:12:55.75\00:12:58.18 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, 00:12:58.21\00:13:02.44 thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the Lord 00:13:02.47\00:13:05.10 shall choose. And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, 00:13:05.13\00:13:08.49 the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the Lord thy God: 00:13:08.52\00:13:11.43 and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out 00:13:11.46\00:13:14.77 upon the altar of the Lord thy God, 00:13:14.80\00:13:16.60 and thou shalt eat the flesh. Observe and hear all these words 00:13:16.63\00:13:22.22 which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, 00:13:22.25\00:13:25.06 and with thy children after thee forever, when thou doest that 00:13:25.09\00:13:29.39 which is good and right in the sight of the Lord thy God. 00:13:29.42\00:13:32.57 When the Lord thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee 00:13:32.60\00:13:36.92 whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them 00:13:36.95\00:13:39.83 and dwellest in their land; Take heed to thyself 00:13:39.86\00:13:43.15 that thou be not snared by following them, 00:13:43.18\00:13:46.02 after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou 00:13:46.05\00:13:50.69 inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations 00:13:50.72\00:13:55.28 serve their gods? Even so will I do likewise. 00:13:55.31\00:13:58.11 Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: 00:13:58.14\00:14:01.17 for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, 00:14:01.20\00:14:04.51 hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons 00:14:04.54\00:14:07.15 and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. 00:14:07.18\00:14:09.87 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not 00:14:09.90\00:14:16.54 add thereto, nor diminish from it. 00:14:16.57\00:14:19.32 Thank you for being with me today 00:14:19.35\00:14:22.89 to read the word of God together. 00:14:22.92\00:14:24.47 And until we come together again I pray that we will choose 00:14:24.50\00:14:29.27 to obey God through His grace, and his power, 00:14:29.30\00:14:31.96 that his blessings may fall on us. 00:14:31.99\00:14:34.51
