Hello, and welcome
to His Words are Life
00:00:16.57\00:00:18.38
I'm Kelly Mowrer and thank
you for joining with me today
00:00:18.41\00:00:21.92
to read the word of God. Before
we start, let's pray together.
00:00:21.95\00:00:24.88
Dear God, thank you so much for
the word that you have placed
00:00:24.91\00:00:30.85
into our lives to bear fruit.
May we not just hear the words
00:00:30.88\00:00:35.75
that will be read today, but
may they go deep into our heart
00:00:35.78\00:00:39.27
by the power of your Holy Spirit
and may the lives that we live
00:00:39.30\00:00:44.36
be changed by what we're going
to hear this time together.
00:00:44.39\00:00:48.43
May we be more
usable by you because of it.
00:00:48.46\00:00:52.02
We love you so much and
thank you for loving us. Amen
00:00:52.05\00:00:55.19
When we were last
together we were reading
00:00:55.23\00:00:58.01
in the book of
Deuteronomy. Moses has gathered
00:00:58.04\00:01:00.20
the children of Israel together
and he's recounting with them
00:01:00.23\00:01:03.53
God's leading, from the land
of Egypt where they were slaves
00:01:03.56\00:01:08.12
to the land of promise. Moses
says to them, I'm putting before
00:01:08.15\00:01:11.93
you, this day, a blessing
and a curse. And he's laying out
00:01:11.96\00:01:14.93
for them the blessing that will
be theirs if they would hear
00:01:14.96\00:01:17.23
and do the word of the Lord,
and a terrible curse that will
00:01:17.27\00:01:20.64
be in their lives if they
reject the word of the Lord.
00:01:20.67\00:01:23.45
We're picking up now
in Deuteronomy chapter 13.
00:01:23.48\00:01:26.47
This is the King James Version.
If there arise among you
00:01:26.50\00:01:30.96
a prophet, or a dreamer of
dreams, and giveth thee a sign
00:01:30.99\00:01:35.39
or a wonder, and the sign or the
wonder come to pass, whereof he
00:01:35.42\00:01:38.51
spake unto thee, saying,
Let us go after other gods,
00:01:38.54\00:01:42.06
which thou has not
known, and let us serve them;
00:01:42.09\00:01:45.19
Thou shalt not hearken
unto the words of that prophet,
00:01:45.22\00:01:48.68
or that dreamer of dreams: for
the Lord your God proveth you,
00:01:48.71\00:01:52.64
to know whether you
love the Lord your God
00:01:52.67\00:01:55.18
with all your heart
and with all your soul.
00:01:55.21\00:01:57.48
Ye shall walk after the
Lord your God and fear Him,
00:01:57.51\00:02:00.82
and keep his commandments,
and obey his voice,
00:02:00.85\00:02:03.21
and ye shall serve
him, and cleave unto him.
00:02:03.24\00:02:05.27
And that prophet, or
that dreamer of dreams,
00:02:05.30\00:02:08.58
shall be put to death; because
he hath spoken to turn you away
00:02:08.61\00:02:12.79
from the Lord your God, which
brought you out of the land
00:02:12.82\00:02:15.13
of Egypt, and redeemed you
out of the house of bondage,
00:02:15.16\00:02:18.26
to thrust thee out of the way
which the Lord thy God commanded
00:02:18.29\00:02:21.80
thee to walk in. So shalt thou
put the evil away from the midst
00:02:21.83\00:02:26.13
of thee. If thy brother, the
son of the mother, or thy son,
00:02:26.16\00:02:31.37
or thy daughter, or the wife
of thy bosom, or thy friend,
00:02:31.40\00:02:34.87
which is as thine own soul,
entice thee secretly, saying,
00:02:34.90\00:02:38.98
Let us go and serve other
gods, which thou hast not known,
00:02:39.01\00:02:42.72
thou, nor thy fathers; namely,
of the gods of the people which
00:02:42.75\00:02:46.44
are round about you, nigh
unto thee, or far off from thee,
00:02:46.47\00:02:49.88
from the one end of the
earth even unto the other end of
00:02:49.91\00:02:52.20
the earth; Thou
shalt not consent unto him,
00:02:52.23\00:02:55.60
nor hearken unto him; neither
shall thine eye pity him,
00:02:55.63\00:02:59.92
neither shalt thou spare,
neither shalt thou conceal him;
00:02:59.95\00:03:04.79
But thou shalt surely kill
him; thine hand shall be first
00:03:04.82\00:03:09.07
upon him to put him to death,
and afterwards the hand of all
00:03:09.10\00:03:11.86
the people. And thou shalt stone
him with stones, that he die;
00:03:11.89\00:03:15.94
because he hath sought to thrust
the away from the Lord thy God,
00:03:15.97\00:03:20.88
which brought thee out of the
land of Egypt, from the house
00:03:20.91\00:03:23.84
of bondage. And all
Israel shall hear, and fear,
00:03:23.87\00:03:28.24
and shall do no more any such
wickedness as this among is you.
00:03:28.27\00:03:33.66
If thou shalt hear say in one
of thy cities, which the Lord
00:03:33.69\00:03:37.60
thy God hath given thee to dwell
there, saying, Certain men,
00:03:37.63\00:03:41.09
the children of Belial, are gone
out from among you, and have
00:03:41.12\00:03:44.48
withdrawn the inhabitants of
their city, saying, Let us go
00:03:44.51\00:03:48.12
and serve other gods, which ye
have not known; Then shalt thou
00:03:48.15\00:03:52.72
inquire, and make search,
and ask diligently; and behold,
00:03:52.75\00:03:57.02
if it be truth, and the thing is
certain, that such abomination
00:03:57.05\00:04:01.58
is wrought among you; Thou shalt
surely smite the inhabitants
00:04:01.61\00:04:05.18
of that city with the edge of
the sword, destroying it utterly
00:04:05.21\00:04:08.85
and all that is therein, and the
cattle thereof, with the edge
00:04:08.88\00:04:12.99
of the sword. And shalt gather
all the spoil of it into the
00:04:13.02\00:04:17.32
midst of the street thereof, and
shalt burn with fire the city,
00:04:17.35\00:04:20.64
and all the spoil thereof every
whit, for the Lord thy God:
00:04:20.67\00:04:23.93
and it shall be an heap forever;
it shall not be built again.
00:04:23.96\00:04:28.43
And there shall cleave
naught of the cursed thing
00:04:28.46\00:04:31.92
to thine hand: that the Lord
may turn from the fierceness
00:04:31.95\00:04:34.63
of his anger, and show
thee mercy, and have compassion
00:04:34.66\00:04:38.39
upon thee, and
multiply thee, as he hath sworn
00:04:38.42\00:04:41.61
unto thy fathers; When
thou shalt hearken to the voice
00:04:41.64\00:04:45.82
of the Lord thy God, to
keep all his commandments
00:04:45.85\00:04:49.00
which I command thee this
day, to do that which is right
00:04:49.03\00:04:52.30
in the eyes of the Lord thy God.
00:04:52.33\00:04:54.76
We're continuing now
with Deuteronomy, chapter 14,
00:04:54.79\00:04:58.57
and this is the
King James Version.
00:04:58.60\00:05:00.12
Ye are the children of the
Lord your God: ye shall not cut
00:05:00.15\00:05:05.08
yourselves, nor make any
baldness between your eyes
00:05:05.11\00:05:08.11
for the dead. For thou art
an holy people unto the Lord
00:05:08.14\00:05:11.24
thy God, and the Lord hath
chosen thee to be a peculiar
00:05:11.27\00:05:14.19
people unto himself, above
all the nations that are upon
00:05:14.22\00:05:18.19
the earth. Thou shalt
not eat any abominable thing.
00:05:18.22\00:05:21.87
These are the beasts which
ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep,
00:05:21.90\00:05:25.99
and the goat, the hart, and the
roebuck, and the fallow deer,
00:05:26.02\00:05:30.09
and the wild goat, and
the pygarg, and the wild ox
00:05:30.12\00:05:32.79
and the chamois. And every
beast that parteth the hoof,
00:05:32.82\00:05:36.46
and cleaveth the cleft into
two claws, and cheweth the cud
00:05:36.49\00:05:39.79
among the beasts, that ye shall
eat. Nevertheless these ye shall
00:05:39.82\00:05:45.01
not eat of them that chew the
cud, or of them that divide the
00:05:45.04\00:05:48.07
cloven hoof, as the camel,
and the hare, and the coney:
00:05:48.10\00:05:51.19
for they chew the cud,
but divide not the hoof;
00:05:51.22\00:05:54.39
therefore they are unclean unto
you. And the swine, because it
00:05:54.42\00:05:59.79
divideth the hoof, yet cheweth
not the cud, it is unclean unto
00:05:59.82\00:06:04.07
you: ye shall not
eat of their flesh,
00:06:04.10\00:06:06.64
nor touch their dead carcase.
These ye shall eat of all
00:06:06.67\00:06:10.24
that are in the waters:
all that have fins and scales
00:06:10.27\00:06:13.60
shall ye eat: and whatsoever
hath not fins and scales
00:06:13.63\00:06:17.87
ye may not eat; it
is unclean unto you.
00:06:17.90\00:06:20.91
Of all clean birds ye shall
eat. But these are they of which
00:06:20.94\00:06:25.95
ye shall not eat; the eagle, and
the ossifrage, and the osprey,
00:06:25.98\00:06:30.09
and the glede, and the kite,
and the vulture after his kind,
00:06:30.12\00:06:34.13
and every raven after his kind
and the owl, and the night hawk,
00:06:34.16\00:06:38.19
and the cuckoo, and the hawk
after his kind, the little owl,
00:06:38.22\00:06:42.63
and the great owl, and the swan
and the pelican, and the gier
00:06:42.66\00:06:46.45
eagle and the cormorant,
and the stork, and the heron,
00:06:46.48\00:06:49.71
after her kind, and
the lapwing, and the bat.
00:06:49.74\00:06:52.03
And every creeping thing
that flieth is unclean unto you:
00:06:52.06\00:06:55.99
they shall not be eaten. But
of all clean fowls ye may eat.
00:06:56.02\00:07:00.90
Ye shall not eat of
anything that dieth of itself:
00:07:00.93\00:07:04.77
thou shalt give it unto the
stranger that is in thy gates,
00:07:04.80\00:07:08.36
that he may eat it; or thou
mayest sell it unto an alien:
00:07:08.39\00:07:12.35
for thou art an holy
people unto the Lord thy God.
00:07:12.38\00:07:15.90
Thou shalt not seethe a
kid in his mother's milk.
00:07:15.93\00:07:20.16
Thou shalt truly tithe
all the increase of thy seed,
00:07:20.19\00:07:23.92
that the field
bringeth forth year by year.
00:07:23.95\00:07:26.18
And thou shalt eat before the
Lord thy God, in the place which
00:07:26.21\00:07:30.08
he shall choose to place
his name there, the tithe
00:07:30.11\00:07:33.17
of thy corn, of thy wine, and
of thine oil, and the firstlings
00:07:33.20\00:07:37.34
of thy herds and of thy flocks;
that thou mayest learn to fear
00:07:37.37\00:07:41.67
the Lord thy God always. And
if the way be too long for thee,
00:07:41.70\00:07:46.12
so that not able to carry it;
or if the place be too far from
00:07:46.15\00:07:50.69
thee, which the Lord thy
God shall choose to set his name
00:07:50.72\00:07:53.50
there, when the Lord
thy God hath blessed thee:
00:07:53.53\00:07:55.65
Then shalt thou turn it into
money, and bind up the money
00:07:55.68\00:08:00.45
in thine hand, and shalt go
unto the place which the Lord
00:08:00.48\00:08:02.65
thy God shall choose: And
thou shalt bestow that money
00:08:02.68\00:08:05.64
for whatsoever thy soul lusteth
after, for oxen, or for sheep,
00:08:05.67\00:08:09.72
or for wine, or for strong
drink or for whatsoever thy soul
00:08:09.75\00:08:13.08
desireth: and thou shalt eat
there before the Lord thy God,
00:08:13.11\00:08:16.68
and thou shalt rejoice,
thou and thine household,
00:08:16.71\00:08:19.93
And the Levite that
is within thy gates;
00:08:19.96\00:08:22.43
thou shalt no forsake him; for
he hath no part nor inheritance
00:08:22.46\00:08:25.16
with thee. At the end of three
years thou shalt bring forth all
00:08:25.19\00:08:29.23
the tithe of thine increase the
same year, and shalt lay it up
00:08:29.26\00:08:32.26
within thy gates: and the
Levite, (because he hath no part
00:08:32.29\00:08:36.04
nor inheritance with
thee,) and the stranger,
00:08:36.07\00:08:38.29
and the fatherless, and
the widow, which are within
00:08:38.32\00:08:41.34
thy gates, shall come, and
shall eat and be satisfied;
00:08:41.37\00:08:44.90
that the Lord thy
God may bless thee
00:08:44.93\00:08:47.96
in all the work of
thine hand which thou doest.
00:08:47.99\00:08:51.53
We're continuing now in the
book of Deuteronomy, chapter 15
00:08:51.56\00:08:55.78
And this is the
King James Version.
00:08:55.81\00:08:57.77
At the end of every seven
years thou shalt make a release.
00:08:57.80\00:09:03.09
And this is the manner of
the release: Every creditor
00:09:03.12\00:09:07.20
that lendeth aught unto
his neighbor shall release it;
00:09:07.23\00:09:10.27
he shall not exact it of
his neighbor, or of his brother;
00:09:10.30\00:09:14.23
because it is called the
Lord's release. Of a foreigner
00:09:14.26\00:09:19.23
thou mayest exact it
again: but that which is thine
00:09:19.26\00:09:22.31
with thy brother,
thine hand shall release;
00:09:22.34\00:09:24.72
save when there
shall be no poor among you;
00:09:24.75\00:09:27.67
for the Lord shall greatly bless
thee in the land which the Lord
00:09:27.70\00:09:30.46
thy God giveth thee for
an inheritance to possess it:
00:09:30.49\00:09:33.37
Only if thou carefully hearken
unto the voice of the Lord
00:09:33.40\00:09:38.36
thy God, to observe to
do all these commandments
00:09:38.39\00:09:41.54
which I command thee this day.
For the Lord thy God blesseth
00:09:41.57\00:09:45.74
thee, as he promised thee:
and thou shalt lend unto many
00:09:45.77\00:09:49.52
nations, but thou shalt not
borrow; and thou shalt reign
00:09:49.55\00:09:52.77
over many nations, but
they shall not reign over thee.
00:09:52.80\00:09:55.77
If there be among you a poor man
of one of thy brethren within
00:09:55.80\00:09:59.83
any of thy gates, in thy land
which the Lord thy God giveth
00:09:59.86\00:10:03.75
thee, Thou shalt not harden
thine heart, nor shut thine hand
00:10:03.79\00:10:07.65
from thy poor brother: But
thou shalt open thine hand wide
00:10:07.68\00:10:11.50
unto him and shalt surely lend
him sufficient for his need,
00:10:11.53\00:10:14.91
in that which he wanteth. Beware
that there be not a thought
00:10:14.94\00:10:20.07
in thy wicked heart, saying, The
7th year, the year of release,
00:10:20.10\00:10:24.18
is at hand; and thine eye be
evil against thy poor brother,
00:10:24.21\00:10:27.93
and thou givest him
naught; and he cry unto the Lord
00:10:27.96\00:10:31.35
against thee, and
it be sin unto thee.
00:10:31.38\00:10:33.33
Thou shalt surely give him, and
thine heart shall not be grieved
00:10:33.36\00:10:37.01
when thou givest unto him:
because that for this thing
00:10:37.04\00:10:41.47
the Lord thy God shall
bless thee in all thy works,
00:10:41.50\00:10:44.46
and in all that thou
puttest thine hand unto.
00:10:44.49\00:10:47.41
For the poor shall never cease
out of the land: therefore I
00:10:47.44\00:10:51.18
command thee, saying, Thou shalt
open thine hand wide unto thy
00:10:51.21\00:10:55.00
brother, to thy
poor, and unto thy needy,
00:10:55.03\00:10:57.66
in thy land. And if
thy brother, an Hebrew man,
00:10:57.69\00:11:01.39
or an Hebrew woman, be
sold unto thee, and serve thee
00:11:01.42\00:11:04.46
six years; then in the seventh
year thou shalt let him go free
00:11:04.49\00:11:08.15
from thee. And when thou
sendest him out free from thee,
00:11:08.18\00:11:11.06
thou shalt not let him go away
empty: Thou shalt furnish him
00:11:11.09\00:11:14.63
liberally out of thy
flock, and out of thy floor,
00:11:14.66\00:11:17.24
and out of thy winepress: of
that wherewith the Lord thy God
00:11:17.27\00:11:20.64
hath blessed thee
thou shalt give unto him.
00:11:20.67\00:11:23.14
and thou shalt remember that
thou wast a bondman in the land
00:11:23.17\00:11:27.93
of Egypt, and the Lord thy
God redeemed thee: therefore
00:11:27.96\00:11:31.61
I command thee this thing today.
And it shall be, if he say unto
00:11:31.64\00:11:36.06
thee, I will not go away from
thee; because he loveth thee
00:11:36.09\00:11:39.97
and thine house,
because he is well with thee;
00:11:40.00\00:11:42.39
Then thou shalt take an awl,
and thrust it through his ear
00:11:42.42\00:11:46.47
unto the door, and he
shall be thy servant for ever.
00:11:46.50\00:11:49.91
And also unto thy maidservant
thou shalt do likewise.
00:11:49.94\00:11:53.47
It shall not seem hard
unto thee, when thou sendest him
00:11:53.50\00:11:57.03
away free from thee; for
he hath been worth a double
00:11:57.06\00:11:59.73
hired servant to thee
in serving thee six years;
00:11:59.76\00:12:02.41
and the Lord thy
God shall bless thee
00:12:02.44\00:12:05.35
in all that thou doest. All
the firstling males that come
00:12:05.38\00:12:10.35
of thy herd and of thy
flock thou shalt sanctify
00:12:10.38\00:12:13.13
unto the Lord thy
God: thou shalt do no work
00:12:13.16\00:12:16.45
with the firstling of thy
bullock, nor shear the firstling
00:12:16.48\00:12:19.49
of thy sheep. Thou shalt
eat it before the Lord thy God
00:12:19.52\00:12:23.16
year by year in the place
which the Lord shall choose,
00:12:23.19\00:12:26.03
thou and thy household. And
if there be any blemish therein
00:12:26.06\00:12:30.20
as if it be lame, or
blind, or have any ill blemish,
00:12:30.23\00:12:33.50
thou shalt not sacrifice
it unto the Lord thy God.
00:12:33.53\00:12:36.26
Thou shalt eat it within thy
gates: the unclean and the clean
00:12:36.29\00:12:39.84
person shall eat it alike,
as the roebuck, and as the hart.
00:12:39.87\00:12:43.36
Only thou shalt not
eat the blood thereof;
00:12:43.39\00:12:45.86
thou shalt pour it
upon the ground as water.
00:12:45.89\00:12:48.61
We're continuing in the
book of Deuteronomy chapter 16.
00:12:48.64\00:12:52.13
This is the King James Version.
Observe the month of Abib,
00:12:52.16\00:12:56.98
and keep the Passover unto the
Lord thy God: for in the month
00:12:57.01\00:13:00.51
of Abib the Lord thy God brought
thee forth out of Egypt by night
00:13:00.54\00:13:04.29
Thou shalt therefore sacrifice
the Passover unto the Lord
00:13:04.32\00:13:07.88
thy God, of the flock
and the herd, in the place
00:13:07.91\00:13:10.20
which the Lord shall
choose to place his name there.
00:13:10.23\00:13:12.48
Thou shalt eat no leavened
bread with it; seven days shalt
00:13:12.51\00:13:16.56
thou eat unleavened
bread therewith, even the bread
00:13:16.59\00:13:19.25
of affliction: for thou camest
forth out of the land of Egypt
00:13:19.28\00:13:23.00
in haste: that thou
mayest remember the day
00:13:23.03\00:13:25.95
when thou camest forth out of
the Land of Egypt all the days
00:13:25.98\00:13:29.79
of thy life. And there shall be
no leavened bread seen with thee
00:13:29.82\00:13:33.67
in all thy coast seven days;
neither shall there anything of
00:13:33.70\00:13:38.38
the flesh, which thou
sacrificedst the first day
00:13:38.41\00:13:41.05
at even, remain all
night until the morning.
00:13:41.08\00:13:44.33
Thou mayest not sacrifice the
Passover within any of thy gates
00:13:44.36\00:13:48.38
which the Lord thy God
giveth thee: But at the place
00:13:48.41\00:13:51.38
which the Lord thy God shall
choose to place his name in,
00:13:51.41\00:13:54.56
there thou shalt
sacrifice the Passover at even,
00:13:54.59\00:13:57.95
at the going down of the sun,
at the season that thou camest
00:13:57.98\00:14:01.30
forth out of Egypt. And
thou shalt roast and eat it
00:14:01.33\00:14:04.74
in the place which the
Lord thy God shall choose:
00:14:04.77\00:14:06.89
and thou shalt turn in the
morning, and go unto thy tents.
00:14:06.92\00:14:10.29
Six days thou shalt
eat unleavened bread:
00:14:10.32\00:14:13.53
and on the 7th day shall be
a solemn assembly to the Lord
00:14:13.56\00:14:17.88
thy god: thou
shalt do no work therein.
00:14:17.91\00:14:20.69
Seven weeks shalt thou number
unto thee: begin to number
00:14:20.72\00:14:24.99
the seven weeks from such
time as thou beginnest to put
00:14:25.02\00:14:27.88
the sickle to the corn.
