Nancy: Welcome To Immerse: The
Daily Bible Reading Experience.
Day 100 and 52
At that time, the Lord said to me, chisel
out two stone tablets like the first ones.
Also make a wooden arc, a
sacred chest to store them in.
Come up to me on the mountain and I
will write on the tablets, the same
words that were on the ones you smashed.
Then placed the tablets in the arc, so
I made an arc of Acacia wood and cut
two stone tablets like the first two.
Then I went up the mountain
with the tablets in my hand.
Once again, the Lord wrote
the 10 commandments on the
tablets and gave them to me.
They were the same words.
The Lord had spoken to you from the
heart of the fire on the day you were
assembled at the foot of the mountain.
Then I turned and came down the
mountain and placed the tablets in
the arc of the covenant, which I had
made just as the Lord commanded me.
And the tablets are
still there in the arc.
The people of Israel set out from the
wells of the people of Akan and traveled
to Mora where Aaron died and was buried.
His son Eliezer ministered
as high priest in his place.
Then they journeyed to gut goda
and from there to jaha a land
with many Brooks and streams.
At that time, the Lord set apart
the tribe of Levi to carry the arc
of the Lord's covenant and to stand
before the Lord as his ministers and
to pronounce blessings in his name.
These are their duties to this day.
That is why the Levites have no share
of property or possession of land
among the other Israelite tribes.
The Lord himself is their special
possession as the Lord your God told them.
As for me, I stayed on the mountain
in the Lord's presence for 40 days and
nights as I had done the first time,
and once again, the Lord listened to
my pleas and agreed not to destroy you.
Then the Lord said to me, get up
and resume the journey and lead the
people to the land I swore to give
to their ancestors so they may take
possession of it and now is real.
What does the Lord your
God require of you?
He requires only that you fear the
Lord your God and live in a way that
pleases him and love him and serve
him with all your heart and soul.
And you must always obey the Lord's
commands and decrees that I am giving you
today for your own good look, the highest
heavens and the earth and everything in
it all belonged to the Lord your God.
Yet the Lord chose your ancestors
as the objects of his love.
He chose you, their descendants above
all other nations, as is evident today.
Therefore, change your hearts and
stop being stubborn for the Lord.
Your God is the God of
Gods and Lord of lords.
He is the great God, the mighty
and awesome God who shows no
partiality and cannot be bribed.
He ensures that orphans
and widows receive justice.
He shows love to the foreigners living
among you and gives them food and
clothing, so you too must show love
to foreigners for you yourselves.
Were once foreigners in the land of
Egypt, you must fear the Lord your God,
and worship him and clinging to him.
Your oaths must be in his name alone.
He alone is your God, the only one
who is worthy of your praise, the one
who has done these mighty miracles
that you have seen with your own eyes.
When your ancestors went down into
Egypt, there were only 70 of them,
but now the Lord your God has made you
as numerous as the stars and the sky.
You must love the Lord your God
and always obey his requirements,
decrees, regulations, and commands.
Keep in mind that I am not talking
now to your children who have never
experienced the discipline of the
Lord your God, or seeing his greatness
and his strong hand and powerful arm.
They didn't see the miraculous signs
and wonders he performed in Egypt
against Pharaoh and all his land.
They didn't see what the Lord did to
the armies of Egypt and to their horses
and chariots, how he drowned them in
the Red Sea as they were chasing you.
He destroyed them and they have
not recovered this very day.
Your children didn't see how
the Lord cared for you in the
wilderness until you arrived here.
They didn't see what he did to Dathan and
Ab Byram, the sons of Alaya, a descendant
of Reuben when the Earth opened its mouth
in the Israelite camp and swallowed them
along with their households and tents and
every living thing that belonged to them.
But you have seen the Lord perform all
these mighty deeds with your own eyes.
Therefore, be careful to obey every
command I am giving you today.
So you may have strength to go in and
take over the land you are about to enter.
If you obey, you will enjoy a long life
in the land the Lord swore to give to your
ancestors and to you their descendants.
The land flowing with milk and honey.
For the land you are about
to enter and take over.
It's not like the land of Egypt from
which you came, where you planted your
seed and made irrigation ditches with
your foot as in a vegetable garden.
Rather, the land you will soon take
over as a land of hills and valleys
with plenty of rain, a land that the
Lord your God cares for, he watches
over it through each season of the year.
If you carefully obey the commands I'm
giving you today, And if you love the Lord
your God and serve him with all your heart
and soul, then he will send the reigns in
their proper seasons, the early and late
rains, so you can bring in your harvests
of grain, new wine, and olive oil.
He will give you lush pasture land
for your livestock, and you yourselves
will have all you want to eat.
But be careful.
Don't let your heart be deceived
so that you turn away from the Lord
and serve and worship other gods.
If you do, the Lord's anger
will burn against you.
He will shut up the sky and hold back.
The rain and the ground will
fail to produce its harvests.
Then you will quickly die and that
good land the Lord is giving you.
So commit yourselves wholeheartedly
to these words of mine.
Tie them to your hands and wear
them on your forehead as reminders.
Teach them to your children.
Talk about them when you are at home and
when you are on the road, when you're
going to bed, and when you are getting up.
Write them on the doorposts of your
house and on your gates so that as long
as the sky remains above the earth,
you and your children may flourish.
And the land the Lord swore
to give your ancestors.
Be careful to obey all these
commands I am giving you.
Show love to the Lord your God, by walking
in his ways and holding tightly to him.
Then the Lord will drive out all the
nations ahead of you, though they are
much greater and stronger than you
and you will take over their land.
Wherever you set foot,
that land will be yours.
Your frontiers will stretch from the
wilderness in the south to Lebanon in the
north and from the Euphrates River in the
East to the Mediterranean Sea in the west.
No one will be able to stand
against you for the Lord.
Your God will cause the people to
fear and dread you as he promised
wherever you go in the whole land.
Look, today I am giving you the
choice between a blessing and a curse.
You will be blessed if you obey
the commands of the Lord your
God that I am giving you today.
But you will be cursed if you reject
the commands of the Lord your God,
and turn away from him into worship
Gods you have not known before.
When the Lord your God brings you into the
land and helps you take possession of it,
you must pronounce the blessing at Mount
Garrison and the curse at Mount Evil.
These two mountains are west of the Jordan
River and the land of the Canaanites who
live in the Jordan Valley near the town
of Gilgal, not far from the oaks of Mora.
For you are about to cross the
Jordan River, to take over the land,
the Lord your God has given you.
When you take that land and are
living in it, you must be careful
to obey all the decrees and
regulations I am giving you today.
