Hello, and welcome
to His Words are Life.
00:00:16.79\00:00:18.21
I'm Kelly Mowrer and thank
you for joining with me today
00:00:18.24\00:00:20.97
to read the Bible together.
Before we start, Lets pray.
00:00:21.00\00:00:24.05
Dear God, thank you so much
for this time and your presence
00:00:24.08\00:00:28.70
receiving from you, the
bread of life through the word.
00:00:28.73\00:00:32.86
Please give us
this day our daily bread
00:00:32.89\00:00:35.99
that will take and nourish
us, give us strength and wisdom
00:00:36.02\00:00:41.30
the power we need to
serve you and each other.
00:00:41.33\00:00:44.08
We love you so much and
thank you for loving us. Amen
00:00:44.11\00:00:47.38
When we were last together
we were reading in Deuteronomy
00:00:47.41\00:00:50.46
where Moses is instructing the
children of Israel with warnings
00:00:50.49\00:00:54.56
and with promises;
over and over and over again
00:00:54.59\00:00:57.43
telling them not to turn from
obedience and love to the Lord
00:00:57.46\00:01:02.17
to love Him and serve
Him withall their hearts.
00:01:02.20\00:01:03.91
We're picking up with
Deuteronomy 16, verse 10.
00:01:03.94\00:01:07.24
This is the King James Version.
And thou shalt keep the feast
00:01:07.27\00:01:10.84
of weeks unto the Lord thy
God with a tribute of a freewill
00:01:10.87\00:01:14.35
offering of thine hand, which
thou shalt give unto the Lord
00:01:14.38\00:01:16.99
thy God according as the
Lord thy God hath blessed thee:
00:01:17.02\00:01:20.42
And thou shalt rejoice before
the Lord thy God, thou, and thy
00:01:20.45\00:01:24.39
son and thy daughter, and thy
manservant, and thy maidservant,
00:01:24.42\00:01:28.02
and the Levite that is within
thy gates, and the stranger,
00:01:28.05\00:01:30.93
and the fatherless, and
the widow, that are among you,
00:01:30.96\00:01:33.35
in the place which the Lord
thy God hath chosen to place
00:01:33.38\00:01:36.79
his name there. And thou
shalt remember that thou wast a
00:01:36.82\00:01:40.78
bondman in Egypt: and
thou shalt observe and do
00:01:40.81\00:01:43.75
these statutes. Thou shalt
observe feast of tabernacles
00:01:43.78\00:01:47.30
seven days, after that
thou hast gathered in thy corn
00:01:47.33\00:01:51.29
and thy wine: and thou
shalt rejoice in thy feast,
00:01:51.32\00:01:54.75
thou, and thy son, and thy
daughter, and thy manservant,
00:01:54.78\00:01:57.91
and thy maidservant, and
the Levite, the stranger,
00:01:57.94\00:02:00.56
and the fatherless, and
the widow, that are within
00:02:00.59\00:02:02.66
thy gates. Seven days
shalt thou keep a solemn feast
00:02:02.69\00:02:06.57
unto the Lord thy God
in the place which the Lord
00:02:06.60\00:02:09.84
shall choose: because the Lord
thy God shall bless thee in all
00:02:09.87\00:02:13.98
thine increase, and in
all the works of thine hands,
00:02:14.01\00:02:17.46
therefore thou shalt surely
rejoice. Three times in a year
00:02:17.49\00:02:21.43
shall all thy males
appear before the Lord thy God
00:02:21.46\00:02:24.22
in the place which he
shall choose; in the feast of
00:02:24.25\00:02:27.03
unleavened bread, and in the
feast of weeks, and in the feast
00:02:27.06\00:02:30.71
of tabernacles: and they shall
not appear before the Lord empty
00:02:30.74\00:02:34.44
Every man shall give as he is
able, according to the blessing
00:02:34.47\00:02:39.15
of the Lord thy God
which he hath given thee.
00:02:39.18\00:02:40.98
Judges and officers shalt
thou make the in all thy gates,
00:02:41.01\00:02:45.28
which the Lord thy God giveth
thee, throughout thy tribes:
00:02:45.31\00:02:48.22
and they shall judge the
people with just judgment.
00:02:48.25\00:02:51.92
Thou shalt not wrest judgment;
thou shalt not respect persons,
00:02:51.95\00:02:55.82
neither take a gift: for a gift
doth blind the eyes of the wise,
00:02:55.85\00:03:00.23
and pervert the
words of the righteous.
00:03:00.26\00:03:02.40
That which is altogether
just shalt thou follow,
00:03:02.43\00:03:06.52
that thou mayest live, and
inherit the land which the Lord
00:03:06.55\00:03:09.90
thy God giveth thee. Thou shalt
not plant thee a grove of any
00:03:09.93\00:03:14.20
trees near unto the altar of the
Lord thy God, which thou shalt
00:03:14.23\00:03:18.08
make thee. Neither shalt
thou set thee up any image;
00:03:18.11\00:03:21.26
which the Lord thy God
hateth. We're continuing now
00:03:21.29\00:03:25.25
in Deuteronomy, chapter 17.
Thou shalt not sacrifice unto
00:03:25.28\00:03:31.14
the Lord thy God any bullock,
or sheep, wherein is blemish,
00:03:31.17\00:03:34.36
or any evil favouredness:
for that is an abomination
00:03:34.39\00:03:37.68
unto the Lord thy God.
If there be found among you,
00:03:37.71\00:03:41.31
within any of thy gates which
the Lord thy God giveth thee,
00:03:41.34\00:03:44.72
man or woman, that hath wrought
wickedness in the sight of the
00:03:44.75\00:03:47.97
Lord thy God, in transgressing
his covenant, and hath gone
00:03:48.00\00:03:51.45
and served other
gods, and worshipped them,
00:03:51.48\00:03:53.71
either the sun, or moon, or any
of the host of heaven, which I
00:03:53.74\00:03:57.02
have not commanded; and it be
told thee, and thou hast heard
00:03:57.05\00:04:00.81
of it, and inquired diligently,
and, behold, it be true,
00:04:00.84\00:04:04.74
and the thing certain, that such
abomination is wrought in Israel
00:04:04.77\00:04:08.26
then shalt thou bring
forth that man or that woman,
00:04:08.29\00:04:12.51
which have committed that
wicked thing, unto thy gates,
00:04:12.54\00:04:15.88
even that man or that woman,
and shalt stone them with stones
00:04:15.91\00:04:19.60
till they die. At the mouth
of 2 witnesses, or 3 witnesses
00:04:19.63\00:04:24.27
shall he that is worthy
of death be put to death.
00:04:24.30\00:04:27.33
but at the mouth of one witness
he shall not be put to death.
00:04:27.36\00:04:32.22
The hands of the witnesses
shall be first upon him
00:04:32.25\00:04:35.69
to put him to death,
and afterward the hands
00:04:35.72\00:04:38.83
of all the people. So thou shalt
put the evil away from among you
00:04:38.86\00:04:44.23
If there arise a matter
too hard for thee in judgment,
00:04:44.26\00:04:48.59
between blood and blood,
between plea and plea, between
00:04:48.62\00:04:53.80
stroke and stroke,
being matters of controversy
00:04:53.83\00:04:57.00
within thy gates: then shalt
thou arise, and get thee up
00:04:57.03\00:05:01.63
into the place which the
Lord thy God shall choose;
00:05:01.66\00:05:04.26
And thou shalt come unto the
priests the Levites, and unto
00:05:04.29\00:05:08.13
the judge that shall be
in those days, and inquire;
00:05:08.16\00:05:11.13
and they shall shew thee
the sentence of judgment:
00:05:11.16\00:05:14.41
And thou shalt do
according to the sentence,
00:05:14.44\00:05:17.09
which they of that place,
which the Lord shall choose,
00:05:17.12\00:05:19.97
shall shew thee; and thou shalt
observe to do according to all
00:05:20.00\00:05:24.71
that they inform thee:
according to the sentence of
00:05:24.74\00:05:27.85
the law which they shall
teach thee, and according to the
00:05:27.88\00:05:31.03
judgment which they
shall tell thee, thou shalt do:
00:05:31.06\00:05:33.62
thou shalt not decline from the
sentence which they shall shew
00:05:33.65\00:05:37.34
thee, to the right hand,
nor to the left. And the man
00:05:37.37\00:05:41.36
that will do presumptuously,
and will not hearken
00:05:41.39\00:05:44.26
unto the priest that
standeth to minister there
00:05:44.29\00:05:46.64
before the Lord thy God, or
unto the judge, even that man
00:05:46.67\00:05:51.34
shall die: and thou shalt
put away the evil from Israel.
00:05:51.37\00:05:54.72
And all the people shall
hear, and fear, and do no more
00:05:54.75\00:06:00.09
presumptuously. When
thou art come unto the land
00:06:00.12\00:06:03.55
which the Lord thy God giveth
thee, and shalt possess it,
00:06:03.58\00:06:06.53
and shalt dwell therin, and
shalt say, I will set a king
00:06:06.56\00:06:09.99
over me, like as all the
nations that are about me;
00:06:10.02\00:06:12.83
thou shalt in any wise set him
a king over thee, whom the Lord
00:06:12.86\00:06:16.98
thy God shall choose: one from
among thy brethren shalt thou
00:06:17.01\00:06:21.37
set king over thee: thou mayest
not set a stranger over thee,
00:06:21.40\00:06:25.31
which is not thy brother.
But he shall not multiply horses
00:06:25.34\00:06:29.25
to himself, nor cause the people
to return to Egypt, to the end
00:06:29.28\00:06:32.87
that he should multiply horses:
forasmuch as the Lord hath said
00:06:32.90\00:06:36.66
unto you, Ye shall henceforth
return no more that way.
00:06:36.69\00:06:39.60
Neither shall he multiply wives
to himself, that his heart turn
00:06:39.63\00:06:44.72
not away: neither shall he
greatly multiply to himself
00:06:44.75\00:06:48.36
silver and gold. And it shall be
when he sitteth upon the throne
00:06:48.39\00:06:52.56
of his kingdom, that he shall
write him a copy of this law
00:06:52.59\00:06:56.37
in a book out of that
which is before the priests
00:06:56.40\00:06:59.60
the Levites: and it shall
be with him and he shall read
00:06:59.63\00:07:03.13
therein all the days of his
life: that he may learn to fear
00:07:03.16\00:07:06.73
the Lord his God, to
keep all the words of this law
00:07:06.76\00:07:09.93
and these statutes, to do them:
that his heart be not lifted up
00:07:09.96\00:07:14.55
above his brethren,
and that he turn not aside
00:07:14.58\00:07:17.58
from the commandment to
the right hand, or to the left:
00:07:17.61\00:07:20.72
to the end that he may
prolong his days in his kingdom,
00:07:20.75\00:07:24.51
he and his children,
in the midst of Israel.
00:07:24.54\00:07:28.36
We're continuing now
with Deuteronomy, chapter 18.
00:07:28.39\00:07:32.09
this is the King James Version.
The priests the Levites, and all
00:07:32.12\00:07:36.79
the tribe of Levi, shall have no
part nor inheritance with Israel
00:07:36.82\00:07:40.48
they shall eat the offering
of the Lord made by fire,
00:07:40.51\00:07:43.97
and his inheritance. Therefore
shall they have no inheritance
00:07:44.00\00:07:47.89
among their brethren: the
Lord is their inheritance,
00:07:47.92\00:07:50.69
as he hath said unto them. And
this shall be the priest's due
00:07:50.72\00:07:54.81
from the people, from
them that offer a sacrifice,
00:07:54.84\00:07:57.25
whether it be ox or sheep; and
they shall give unto the priest
00:07:57.28\00:08:01.68
the shoulder, and the two cheeks
and the maw. The firstfruit also
00:08:01.71\00:08:06.30
of thy corn, of thy wine,
and of thine oil, and the first
00:08:06.33\00:08:09.88
of the fleece of thy
sheep, thou shalt give him.
00:08:09.91\00:08:12.69
For the Lord thy God hath chosen
him out of all thy tribes,
00:08:12.72\00:08:16.81
to stand to minister in the name
of the Lord, him and his sons
00:08:16.84\00:08:21.15
forever. And if a Levite
come from any of thy gates
00:08:21.18\00:08:25.23
out of all Israel, where he
sojourned, and come with all
00:08:25.26\00:08:28.13
the desire of his mind unto
the place which the Lord shall
00:08:28.16\00:08:31.14
choose; then he shall minister
in the name of the Lord his God,
00:08:31.17\00:08:35.36
as all his brethren the
Levites do, which stand there
00:08:35.39\00:08:38.75
before the Lord. They
shall have like portions to eat,
00:08:38.78\00:08:42.00
beside that which cometh
of the sale of his patrimony.
00:08:42.03\00:08:45.55
When thou art come into
the land which the Lord thy God
00:08:45.58\00:08:48.87
giveth thee, thou shalt
not learn to do after the
00:08:48.90\00:08:51.50
abominations of those nations.
There shall not be found among
00:08:51.53\00:08:55.25
you anyone that maketh his son
or his daughter to pass through
00:08:55.28\00:08:58.58
fire, or that useth divination,
or an observer of times,
00:08:58.61\00:09:02.79
or an enchanter, or a witch,
or a charmer, or a consulter
00:09:02.82\00:09:07.47
with familiar spirits, or
a wizard, or a necromancer.
00:09:07.50\00:09:11.53
For all that do these things are
an abomination unto the Lord:
00:09:11.56\00:09:15.51
and because of these
abominations the Lord thy God
00:09:15.54\00:09:18.86
doth drive them out from before
thee. Thou shalt be perfect
00:09:18.89\00:09:23.52
with the Lord thy
God. For these nations,
00:09:23.55\00:09:26.20
which thou shalt possess,
hearkened unto observers
00:09:26.23\00:09:29.40
of times, and unto diviners: but
as for thee, the Lord thy God
00:09:29.43\00:09:34.28
hath not suffered thee so to do.
The Lord thy God will raise up
00:09:34.31\00:09:39.02
unto thee a Prophet from the
midst of thee, of thy brethren,
00:09:39.05\00:09:42.27
like unto me; unto him ye
shall hearken; according to all
00:09:42.30\00:09:47.93
that thou desiredst of the Lord
thy God in Horeb in the day of
00:09:47.96\00:09:51.46
the assembly, saying, Let
me not hear again the voice of
00:09:51.49\00:09:54.81
the Lord my God, neither let
me see this great fire any more,
00:09:54.84\00:09:57.52
that I die not. And the Lord
said unto me, They have well
00:09:57.55\00:10:01.67
spoken that which they have
spoken. I will raise them up a
00:10:01.70\00:10:06.15
Prophet from among their
brethren, like unto thee,
00:10:06.18\00:10:09.56
and will put my words in
his mouth; and he shall speak
00:10:09.59\00:10:13.17
unto them all that
I shall command him.
00:10:13.20\00:10:15.22
And it shall come to pass
that whosoever will not hearken
00:10:15.25\00:10:18.46
unto my words which he
shall speak in my name,
00:10:18.49\00:10:20.98
I will require it of him. But
the prophet, which shall presume
00:10:21.01\00:10:26.56
to speak a word in my
name, which I have not commanded
00:10:26.59\00:10:29.09
him to speak, or that shall
speak in the name of other gods
00:10:29.12\00:10:32.63
even that prophet shall die.
And if thou say in thine heart,
00:10:32.66\00:10:38.82
How shall we know the word
which the Lord hath not spoken?
00:10:38.85\00:10:41.68
When a prophet speaketh in the
name of the Lord, if the thing
00:10:41.71\00:10:45.25
follow not, nor come to pass,
that is the thing which the Lord
00:10:45.28\00:10:48.82
hath not spoken, but the prophet
hath spoken it presumptuously:
00:10:48.85\00:10:52.88
thou shalt not be afraid of
him. We're continuing to read in
00:10:52.91\00:10:56.94
Deuteronomy, chapter 19.
This is the King James Version.
00:10:56.97\00:11:00.29
When the Lord thy God hath
cut off the nations, whose land
00:11:00.32\00:11:05.60
the Lord thy God giveth
thee, and thou succeedest them,
00:11:05.63\00:11:08.86
and dwellest in their
cities, and in their houses;
00:11:08.89\00:11:11.21
thou shalt separate three
cities for thee in the midst
00:11:11.24\00:11:14.83
of thy land, which the Lord thy
God giveth thee to possess it.
00:11:14.86\00:11:18.05
Thou shalt prepare thee a
way, and divide the coasts
00:11:18.08\00:11:22.69
of thy land, which the Lord
thy God giveth thee to inherit,
00:11:22.72\00:11:26.03
into three parts, that
every slayer may flee thither,
00:11:26.06\00:11:30.18
And this is the case of the
slayer which shall flee thither,
00:11:30.21\00:11:35.09
that he may live: Whoso
killeth his neighbor ignorantly,
00:11:35.12\00:11:39.23
whom he hated not in time past;
As when a man goeth into the
00:11:39.26\00:11:43.93
wood with his neighbor to
hew wood, and his hand fetcheth
00:11:43.96\00:11:46.59
a stroke with the axe to
cut down the tree, and the head
00:11:46.62\00:11:49.33
slippeth from the helve,
and lighteth upon his neighbor,
00:11:49.36\00:11:52.22
that he die; he shall flee unto
one of those cities, and live:
00:11:52.25\00:11:56.78
lest the avenger of the
blood pursue the slayer,
00:11:56.81\00:12:00.15
while his heart is hot, and
overtake him, because the way
00:12:00.18\00:12:03.63
is long, and slay him; whereas
he was not worthy of death,
00:12:03.66\00:12:08.14
inasmuch as he hated
him not in time past.
00:12:08.17\00:12:10.78
Wherefore I command thee saying,
Thou shalt separate three cities
00:12:10.81\00:12:15.20
for thee. And if the Lord
thy God enlarge thy coast,
00:12:15.23\00:12:18.85
as he hath sworn unto thy
fathers, and give thee all
00:12:18.88\00:12:22.03
the land which he promised
to give unto thy fathers;
00:12:22.06\00:12:24.44
If thou shalt keep all
these commandments to do them,
00:12:24.47\00:12:27.94
which I command thee this
day, to love the Lord thy God,
00:12:27.97\00:12:31.51
and to walk ever in his ways;
then shalt thou add three cities
00:12:31.54\00:12:35.11
more for thee, beside
these three: That innocent blood
00:12:35.14\00:12:39.12
be not shed in thy land, which
the Lord thy God giveth thee
00:12:39.15\00:12:42.86
for an inheritance,
and so blood be upon thee.
00:12:42.89\00:12:45.55
And if any man hate his
neighbor, and lie in wait
00:12:45.58\00:12:49.41
for him, and rise up against
him and smite him mortally
00:12:49.44\00:12:52.63
that he die, and fleeth
into one of these cities:
00:12:52.66\00:12:56.13
Then the elders of his
city shall send and fetch him
00:12:56.16\00:12:59.80
thence, and deliver him into the
hand of the avenger of blood,
00:12:59.83\00:13:04.06
that he may die. Thine
eye shall not pity him,
00:13:04.09\00:13:08.02
but thou shalt put away
the guilt of innocent blood,
00:13:08.05\00:13:10.75
from Israel, that it
may go well with thee.
00:13:10.78\00:13:13.31
Thou shalt not remove thy
neighbor's landmark, which
00:13:13.34\00:13:17.04
they have old time have
set in thine inheritance,
00:13:17.07\00:13:19.57
which thou shalt inherit in
the land that the Lord thy God
00:13:19.60\00:13:23.06
giveth thee to possess it.
One witness shall not rise up
00:13:23.09\00:13:27.22
against a man for any iniquity
or for any sin, in any sin that
00:13:27.25\00:13:31.42
he sinneth. At the mouth of
two witnesses, or at the mouth
00:13:31.45\00:13:34.98
of three witnesses, shall
the matter be established.
00:13:35.01\00:13:37.67
If a false witness rise
up against any man to testify
00:13:37.70\00:13:41.86
against him that which
is wrong; then both the men,
00:13:41.89\00:13:45.46
between whom the controversy
is, shall stand before the Lord,
00:13:45.49\00:13:49.26
before the priests and the
judges, which shall be in those
00:13:49.29\00:13:51.75
days; and the judges shall make
diligent inquisition: and behold
00:13:51.78\00:13:55.80
if the witness be a false
witness, and hath testified
00:13:55.83\00:13:59.23
falsely against his brother;
Then shall ye do unto him,
00:13:59.26\00:14:02.97
as he had thought to
have done unto his brother:
00:14:03.00\00:14:06.28
So shalt thou put the
evil away from among you.
00:14:06.31\00:14:09.67
And those which
remain shall hear, and fear,
00:14:09.70\00:14:13.46
and shall henceforth commit
no more any such evil among you.
00:14:13.49\00:14:17.22
And thine eye shall not pity;
but life shall go for life,
00:14:17.25\00:14:21.96
eye for eye, tooth for tooth,
hand for hand, foot for foot.
00:14:21.99\00:14:28.44
Thank you for joining with
me today and please join with
00:14:28.47\00:14:31.49
me again next time to read the
word of God together. Goodbye.
