Hello, and welcome
to His Words Are Life.
00:00:17.05\00:00:18.91
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and thank
you for joining with me today to
00:00:18.94\00:00:22.41
read the Bible together.
00:00:22.44\00:00:23.41
Let's pray before we start.
00:00:23.42\00:00:24.91
Dear God, thank You that You
have brought us apart to receive
00:00:24.94\00:00:31.13
from You the special offensive
weapon of the word, to go and to
00:00:31.17\00:00:37.40
fight the fight of faith with,
and to do the work that You've
00:00:37.43\00:00:41.41
set out for us to do
today and in the future.
00:00:41.44\00:00:45.20
Please equip us now
with what we are to read.
00:00:45.23\00:00:47.64
We love You so much,
and thank You for loving us.
00:00:47.67\00:00:50.36
Amen.
00:00:50.39\00:00:51.36
We're reading in
the book of Deuteronomy.
00:00:51.37\00:00:53.63
We're starting in
chapter 26, with verse 16.
00:00:53.66\00:00:58.07
This is Moses laying out for the
Israelites the different laws
00:00:58.10\00:01:03.14
and commands, and the
blessings of the Lord.
00:01:03.17\00:01:05.68
Beginning in verse 16.
00:01:05.71\00:01:07.80
This day the Lord thy God
hath commanded thee to do these
00:01:07.83\00:01:12.52
statutes and judgments: thou
shalt therefore keep and do them
00:01:12.55\00:01:16.28
with all thine heart,
and with all thy soul.
00:01:16.31\00:01:19.31
Thou hast avouched the
Lord this day to be thy God,
00:01:19.34\00:01:22.97
and to walk in his ways,
and to keep his statutes,
00:01:23.00\00:01:25.20
and his
commandments, and his judgments,
00:01:25.23\00:01:26.79
and to hearken unto his voice:
and the Lord hath avouched thee
00:01:26.82\00:01:30.61
this day to be his peculiar
people, as he hath promised
00:01:30.64\00:01:34.49
thee, and that thou shouldest
keep all his commandments;
00:01:34.52\00:01:37.55
and to make thee high above
all nations which he hath made,
00:01:37.58\00:01:41.78
in praise, and in name, and in
honor; and that thou mayest be a
00:01:41.81\00:01:46.93
holy people unto the Lord
thy God, as he hath spoken.
00:01:46.96\00:01:50.81
We're continuing now in
Deuteronomy, chapter 27.
00:01:50.84\00:01:54.33
This is the King James Version.
00:01:54.36\00:01:56.38
And Moses with the elders
of Israel commanded the people,
00:01:56.41\00:02:00.78
saying, Keep all the
commandments which I command
00:02:00.81\00:02:03.23
you this day.
00:02:03.26\00:02:04.23
And it shall be, on the day when
ye shall pass over Jordan unto
00:02:04.24\00:02:07.61
the land which the Lord thy God
giveth thee, that thou shalt set
00:02:07.64\00:02:10.75
thee up great stones, and
plaster them with plaster:
00:02:10.78\00:02:13.61
and thou shalt write upon
them all the words of this law,
00:02:13.64\00:02:17.05
when thou art passed over, that
thou mayest go in unto the land
00:02:17.08\00:02:21.25
which the Lord thy God giveth
thee, a land that floweth with
00:02:21.28\00:02:23.98
milk and honey; as the
Lord God of thy fathers
00:02:24.01\00:02:26.59
hath promised thee.
00:02:26.62\00:02:27.71
Therefore it shall be when ye be
gone over Jordan, that ye shall
00:02:27.74\00:02:31.69
set up these stones, which I
command you this day, in mount
00:02:31.72\00:02:35.27
Ebal, and thou shalt
plaster them with plaster.
00:02:35.30\00:02:38.43
And there shalt thou build
an altar unto the Lord thy God,
00:02:38.46\00:02:42.26
an altar of stones: thou
shalt not lift up any iron
00:02:42.29\00:02:46.29
tool upon them.
00:02:46.32\00:02:47.47
Thou shalt build the altar
of the Lord thy God of whole
00:02:47.50\00:02:50.43
stones: and thou shalt offer
burnt offerings thereon unto
00:02:50.46\00:02:54.20
the Lord thy God: and thou
shalt offer peace offerings,
00:02:54.23\00:02:57.68
and shall eat there, and
rejoice before the Lord thy God.
00:02:57.71\00:03:00.82
And thou shalt write upon
the stones all the words of this
00:03:00.85\00:03:04.05
law very plainly.
00:03:04.08\00:03:06.34
And Moses and the priests the
Levites spake unto all Israel,
00:03:06.37\00:03:10.64
saying, Take heed, and hearken,
O Israel; this day thou art
00:03:10.67\00:03:16.53
become the people
of the Lord thy God.
00:03:16.56\00:03:19.03
Thou shalt therefore obey
the voice of the Lord thy God,
00:03:19.06\00:03:22.84
and do his commandments and
his statutes, which I command
00:03:22.87\00:03:25.55
thee this day.
00:03:25.58\00:03:26.55
And Moses charged the people the
same day, saying, These shall
00:03:26.56\00:03:32.07
stand upon mount Gerizim to
bless the people, when ye are
00:03:32.10\00:03:36.61
come over Jordan; Simeon, and
Levi, and Judah, and Issachar,
00:03:36.64\00:03:41.49
and Joseph, and Benjamin:
and these shall stand upon mount
00:03:41.52\00:03:45.42
Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad,
and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan,
00:03:45.45\00:03:51.44
and Naphtali.
00:03:51.47\00:03:52.44
And the Levites shall speak,
and say unto all the men of
00:03:52.45\00:03:55.57
Israel with a loud voice,
Cursed be the man that maketh
00:03:55.60\00:03:58.69
any graven or molten image,
an abomination unto the Lord,
00:03:58.72\00:04:02.04
the work of the hands of the
craftsman, and putteth it in a
00:04:02.07\00:04:05.00
secret place.
00:04:05.03\00:04:06.00
And all the people
shall answer and say, Amen.
00:04:06.01\00:04:09.78
Cursed be he that setteth light
by his father or his mother.
00:04:09.81\00:04:14.50
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
00:04:14.53\00:04:18.10
Cursed be he that removeth
his neighbor's landmark.
00:04:18.13\00:04:22.10
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
00:04:22.13\00:04:24.41
Cursed be he that maketh the
blind to wander out of the way.
00:04:24.44\00:04:29.72
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
00:04:29.75\00:04:32.77
Cursed be he that perverteth
the judgment of the stranger,
00:04:32.80\00:04:36.88
fatherless, and widow.
00:04:36.91\00:04:38.11
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
00:04:38.14\00:04:40.87
Cursed be he that lieth with
his father's wife; because he
00:04:40.90\00:04:46.69
uncovereth his father's skirt.
00:04:46.72\00:04:48.21
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
00:04:48.24\00:04:50.70
Cursed be he that lieth
with any manner of beast.
00:04:50.73\00:04:54.39
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
00:04:54.42\00:04:56.13
Cursed be he that lieth with
his sister, the daughter of his
00:04:56.16\00:04:58.96
father, or the
daughter of his mother.
00:04:58.99\00:05:00.38
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
00:05:00.41\00:05:02.56
Cursed be he that
lieth with his mother-in-law.
00:05:02.59\00:05:05.81
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
00:05:05.84\00:05:08.16
Cursed be he that
smiteth his neighbor secretly.
00:05:08.19\00:05:12.21
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
00:05:12.24\00:05:14.59
Cursed be he that taketh reward
to slay an innocent person.
00:05:14.62\00:05:19.17
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
00:05:19.20\00:05:22.38
Cursed be he that
confirmeth not all the words
00:05:22.41\00:05:25.29
of this law to do them.
00:05:25.32\00:05:26.69
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
00:05:26.72\00:05:28.89
Continuing in Deuteronomy,
chapter 28, and this is the
00:05:28.92\00:05:32.77
King James Version.
00:05:32.80\00:05:33.77
And it shall come to pass,
if thou shalt hearken diligently
00:05:33.78\00:05:38.47
unto the voice of the Lord
thy God, to observe and to do
00:05:38.50\00:05:41.92
all his commandments
which I command thee this day,
00:05:41.95\00:05:44.24
that the Lord thy God will set
thee on high above all nations
00:05:44.27\00:05:49.28
of the earth: and all these
blessings shall come on thee,
00:05:49.31\00:05:52.39
and overtake thee, if thou shalt
hearken unto the voice of the
00:05:52.42\00:05:54.43
voice of the Lord thy God.
00:05:54.46\00:05:55.64
Blessed shalt thou be in
the city, and blessed shalt thou
00:05:55.67\00:05:58.84
be in the field.
00:05:58.87\00:05:59.84
Blessed shall be the fruit of
thy body, and the fruit of thy
00:05:59.85\00:06:02.37
ground, and the fruit of
thy cattle, the increase of thy
00:06:02.40\00:06:04.95
kine, and the
flocks of thy sheep.
00:06:04.98\00:06:06.59
Blessed shall be thy
basket and thy store.
00:06:06.62\00:06:09.96
Blessed shalt thou be when thou
comest in, and blessed shalt
00:06:09.99\00:06:13.90
thou be when thou goest out.
00:06:13.93\00:06:15.46
The Lord shall cause thine
enemies that rise up against
00:06:15.49\00:06:18.50
thee to be smitten before
thy face: they shall come out
00:06:18.53\00:06:21.81
against thee one way, and
flee before thee seven ways.
00:06:21.85\00:06:25.24
The Lord shall command
the blessing upon thee in thy
00:06:25.27\00:06:27.92
storehouses, and in all that
thou settest thine hand unto;
00:06:27.95\00:06:31.53
and he shall bless thee in
the land which the Lord thy God
00:06:31.56\00:06:35.17
giveth thee.
00:06:35.20\00:06:36.17
The Lord shall establish
thee a holy people unto himself,
00:06:36.18\00:06:40.92
as he hath sworn unto thee, if
thou shalt keep the commandments
00:06:40.95\00:06:44.86
of the Lord thy God,
and walk in his ways.
00:06:44.89\00:06:47.75
And all people of the earth
shall see that thou art called
00:06:47.78\00:06:51.63
by the name of the Lord; and
they shall be afraid of thee.
00:06:51.66\00:06:54.43
And the Lord shall make thee
plenteous in goods, in the fruit
00:06:54.46\00:06:57.71
of thy body, and in the fruit of
thy cattle, and in the fruit of
00:06:57.74\00:07:00.16
thy ground, in the land which
the Lord sware unto thy fathers
00:07:00.19\00:07:03.94
to give thee.
00:07:03.97\00:07:04.94
The Lord shall open unto thee
his good treasure, the heaven to
00:07:04.95\00:07:09.59
give the rain unto thy land in
his season, and to bless all the
00:07:09.62\00:07:13.50
work of thine hand: and thou
shalt lend unto many nations,
00:07:13.53\00:07:16.23
and thou shalt not borrow.
00:07:16.26\00:07:17.98
And the Lord shall make thee the
head, and not the tail; and thou
00:07:18.01\00:07:22.62
shalt be above only, and thou
shalt not be beneath; if that
00:07:22.65\00:07:26.47
thou hearken unto the
commandments of the Lord thy
00:07:26.50\00:07:29.12
God, which I command thee this
day, to observe and to do them:
00:07:29.15\00:07:33.42
and thou shalt not go aside from
any of the words which I command
00:07:33.45\00:07:37.30
thee this day, to the
right hand, or to the left,
00:07:37.33\00:07:39.38
to go after other
gods to serve them.
00:07:39.41\00:07:41.73
But it shall come to pass, if
thou wilt not hearken unto the
00:07:41.76\00:07:46.24
voice of the Lord thy
God, to observe to do all his
00:07:46.27\00:07:49.69
commandments and his statutes
which I command thee this day;
00:07:49.72\00:07:52.38
that all these curses shall come
upon thee, and overtake thee:
00:07:52.41\00:07:57.99
cursed shalt
thou be in the city,
00:07:58.02\00:08:00.64
and cursed shalt
thou be in the field.
00:08:00.67\00:08:02.50
Cursed shall be thy
basket and thy store.
00:08:02.53\00:08:06.04
Cursed shall be the fruit of thy
body, and the fruit of thy land,
00:08:06.07\00:08:09.80
the increase of thy kine,
and the flocks of thy sheep.
00:08:09.83\00:08:12.51
Cursed shalt thou be when thou
comest in, and cursed shalt thou
00:08:12.54\00:08:16.83
be when thou goest out.
00:08:16.86\00:08:19.07
The Lord shall send upon thee
cursing, vexation, and rebuke,
00:08:19.10\00:08:24.27
in all that thou settest thine
hand unto for to do, until thou
00:08:24.30\00:08:28.86
be destroyed, and until thou
perish quickly; because of the
00:08:28.89\00:08:32.07
wickedness of thy doings,
whereby thou hast forsaken me.
00:08:32.10\00:08:35.83
The Lord shall make the
pestilence cleave unto thee,
00:08:35.86\00:08:38.94
until he have consumed thee from
off the land, whither thou goest
00:08:38.97\00:08:43.41
to possess it.
00:08:43.44\00:08:44.41
The Lord shall smite thee with
a consumption, and with a fever,
00:08:44.42\00:08:47.60
and with an inflammation,
and with an extreme burning,
00:08:47.63\00:08:50.47
and with the sword, and
with blasting, and with mildew;
00:08:50.50\00:08:52.83
and they shall pursue
thee until thou perish.
00:08:52.86\00:08:55.93
And thy heaven that is
over thy head shall be brass,
00:08:55.96\00:08:59.24
and the earth that is
under thee shall be iron.
00:08:59.27\00:09:01.99
The Lord shall make the rain
of thy land powder and dust:
00:09:02.02\00:09:05.96
from heaven shall
it come down upon thee,
00:09:05.99\00:09:08.45
until thou be destroyed.
00:09:08.48\00:09:10.44
The Lord shall cause thee to
be smitten before thine enemies:
00:09:10.47\00:09:14.30
thou shalt go out one way
against them, and flee seven
00:09:14.33\00:09:17.51
ways before them: and shalt
be removed into all the kingdoms
00:09:17.54\00:09:21.08
of the earth.
00:09:21.11\00:09:22.08
And thy carcass shall be
meat unto all fowls of the air,
00:09:22.09\00:09:24.67
and unto the beasts of
the earth, and no man shall
00:09:24.70\00:09:27.46
fray them away.
00:09:27.49\00:09:28.46
The Lord will smite thee with
the botch of Egypt, and with the
00:09:28.47\00:09:32.13
hemorrhoids, and with the scab,
and with the itch, whereof thou
00:09:32.16\00:09:35.25
canst not be healed.
00:09:35.28\00:09:36.71
The Lord shall smite thee
with madness, and blindness,
00:09:36.74\00:09:40.17
and astonishment of heart:
and thou shalt grope at noonday,
00:09:40.20\00:09:45.60
as the blind gropeth in
darkness, and thou shalt not
00:09:45.63\00:09:47.70
prosper in thy ways: and
thou shalt be only oppressed
00:09:47.73\00:09:51.63
and spoiled evermore,
and no man shall save thee.
00:09:51.66\00:09:55.57
Thou shalt betroth a wife, and
another man shall lie with her:
00:09:55.60\00:09:59.61
thou shalt build an house, and
thou shalt not dwell therein:
00:09:59.64\00:10:02.50
thou shalt plant a vineyard,
and shalt not gather the
00:10:02.53\00:10:05.41
grapes thereof.
00:10:05.44\00:10:06.41
Thine ox shall be slain before
thine eyes, and thou shalt not
00:10:06.42\00:10:09.91
eat thereof: thine ass shall be
violently taken away from before
00:10:09.94\00:10:14.03
thy face, and shall not be
restored to thee: thy sheep
00:10:14.06\00:10:17.43
shall be given unto thine
enemies, and thou shalt have
00:10:17.46\00:10:20.32
none to rescue them.
00:10:20.35\00:10:21.86
Thy sons and thy daughters shall
be given unto another people,
00:10:21.89\00:10:25.62
and thine eyes shall look,
and fail with longing for them
00:10:25.65\00:10:29.34
all the day long: and there
shall be no might in thine hand.
00:10:29.37\00:10:32.25
The fruit of thy land, and
all thy labours, shall a nation
00:10:32.28\00:10:36.02
which thou knowest not eat up;
and thou shalt be only oppressed
00:10:36.05\00:10:39.88
and crushed always: so that
thou shalt be mad for the sight
00:10:39.91\00:10:44.43
of thine eyes
which thou shalt see.
00:10:44.46\00:10:45.94
The Lord shall smite thee
in the knees, and in the legs,
00:10:45.97\00:10:48.97
with a sore botch that cannot
be healed, from the sole of thy
00:10:49.00\00:10:52.25
foot unto the top of thy head.
00:10:52.28\00:10:53.94
The Lord shall bring thee, and
thy king which thou shalt set
00:10:53.97\00:10:56.73
over thee, unto a nation which
neither thou nor thy fathers
00:10:56.76\00:10:59.30
have known; and there
shalt thou serve other gods,
00:10:59.33\00:11:02.75
wood and stone.
00:11:02.78\00:11:04.58
And thou shalt become
an astonishment, a proverb,
00:11:04.61\00:11:07.83
and a byword, among all
nations whither the Lord
00:11:07.86\00:11:10.49
shall lead thee.
00:11:10.52\00:11:11.49
Thou shalt carry much
seed out into the field,
00:11:11.50\00:11:14.48
and shalt gather but little in;
for the locust shall consume it.
00:11:14.51\00:11:17.90
Thou shalt plant vineyards, and
dress them, but shalt neither
00:11:17.93\00:11:21.78
drink of the wine, nor
gather the grapes; for the worms
00:11:21.81\00:11:24.61
shall eat them.
00:11:24.64\00:11:25.61
Thou shalt have olive
trees throughout all thy coasts,
00:11:25.62\00:11:28.74
but thou shalt not
anoint thyself with the oil;
00:11:28.77\00:11:31.19
for thine olive
shall cast his fruit.
00:11:31.22\00:11:33.72
Thou shalt beget sons and
daughters, but thou shalt not
00:11:33.75\00:11:36.85
enjoy them; for they
shall go into captivity.
00:11:36.88\00:11:39.55
All thy trees and fruit of thy
land shall the locust consume.
00:11:39.58\00:11:44.49
The stranger that is within thee
shall get up above thee very
00:11:44.52\00:11:48.25
high; and thou
shalt come down very low.
00:11:48.28\00:11:51.39
He shall lend to thee, and
thou shalt not lend to him:
00:11:51.42\00:11:54.71
he shall be the head,
and thou shalt be the tail.
00:11:54.74\00:11:58.63
Moreover all these curses shall
come upon thee, and shall pursue
00:11:58.66\00:12:02.59
thee, and overtake
thee, till thou be destroyed;
00:12:02.62\00:12:05.13
because thou hearkenedst not
unto the voice of the Lord thy
00:12:05.16\00:12:08.40
God, to keep his commandments
and his statutes which he
00:12:08.43\00:12:11.63
commanded thee: and they shall
be upon thee for a sign and for
00:12:11.66\00:12:15.46
a wonder, and
upon thy seed for ever.
00:12:15.49\00:12:17.12
Because thou servedst not the
Lord thy God with joyfulness,
00:12:17.15\00:12:19.66
and with gladness of heart,
for the abundance of all things;
00:12:19.69\00:12:22.47
Therefore shalt thou serve thine
enemies, which the Lord shall
00:12:22.50\00:12:26.57
send against thee, in hunger,
and in thirst, and in nakedness,
00:12:26.60\00:12:29.98
and in want of all things: and
he shall put a yoke of iron upon
00:12:30.01\00:12:34.17
thy neck, until he
have destroyed thee.
00:12:34.20\00:12:36.99
The Lord shall bring a
nation against thee from far,
00:12:37.02\00:12:40.68
from the end of the earth,
as swift as the eagle flieth;
00:12:40.71\00:12:43.82
a nation whose tongue thou
shalt not understand; a nation
00:12:43.85\00:12:47.55
of fierce countenance, which
shall not regard the person of
00:12:47.58\00:12:50.20
the old, nor show favor to
the young: and he shall eat the
00:12:50.23\00:12:53.72
fruit of thy cattle, and the
fruit of thy land, until thou be
00:12:53.75\00:12:56.80
destroyed: which also shall not
leave thee either corn, wine,
00:12:56.83\00:13:00.48
or oil, or the increase of thy
kine, or flocks of thy sheep,
00:13:00.51\00:13:04.09
until he have destroyed thee.
00:13:04.12\00:13:06.12
And he shall besiege thee in all
thy gates, until thy high and
00:13:06.16\00:13:10.26
fenced walls come down, wherein
thou trustedst, throughout all
00:13:10.29\00:13:14.38
thy land: and he shall besiege
thee in all thy gates throughout
00:13:14.44\00:13:16.80
all thy land, which the
Lord thy God hath given thee.
00:13:16.83\00:13:19.11
And thou shalt eat the fruit of
thine own body, the flesh of thy
00:13:19.14\00:13:22.14
sons and of thy daughters,
which the Lord thy God hath
00:13:22.17\00:13:24.14
given thee, in the siege, and in
the straitness, wherewith thine
00:13:24.17\00:13:27.00
enemies shall distress thee:
so that the man that is tender
00:13:27.03\00:13:30.45
among you, and very delicate,
his eye shall be evil toward his
00:13:30.48\00:13:33.21
brother, and toward the wife
of his bosom, and toward the
00:13:33.24\00:13:35.17
remnant of his children which
he shall leave: so that he will
00:13:35.20\00:13:38.81
not give to any of them of the
flesh of his children whom he
00:13:38.84\00:13:41.88
shall eat: because he hath
nothing left him in the siege,
00:13:41.91\00:13:44.33
and in the straitness, wherewith
thine enemies shall distress
00:13:44.36\00:13:47.56
thee in all thy gates.
00:13:47.59\00:13:48.68
The tender and delicate
woman among you, which would not
00:13:48.71\00:13:51.61
adventure to set the sole
of her foot upon the ground for
00:13:51.64\00:13:54.20
delicateness and tenderness,
her eye shall be evil toward the
00:13:54.23\00:13:57.63
husband of her bosom, and
toward her son, and toward her
00:13:57.66\00:14:00.74
daughter, and toward her young
one that cometh out from between
00:14:00.77\00:14:03.14
her feet, and toward her
children which she shall bear:
00:14:03.17\00:14:05.20
for she shall eat them for want
of all things secretly in the
00:14:05.23\00:14:08.55
siege and straitness, wherewith
thine enemy shall distress thee
00:14:08.58\00:14:11.95
in thy gates.
00:14:11.98\00:14:13.08
If thou wilt not observe to do
all the words of this law that
00:14:13.11\00:14:16.65
are written in this book, that
thou mayest fear this glorious
00:14:16.68\00:14:20.49
and fearful name, THE LORD THY
GOD; then the Lord will make thy
00:14:20.52\00:14:25.03
plagues wonderful, and the
plagues of thy seed, even great
00:14:25.06\00:14:27.55
plagues, and of long
continuance, and sore
00:14:27.58\00:14:30.48
sicknesses, and
of long continuance.
00:14:30.51\00:14:33.19
Goodbye until next time.
00:14:33.22\00:14:34.96
