Nancy: Welcome To Immerse: The
Daily Bible Reading Experience.

00:00:02.920 --> 00:00:04.300
Day 100 and 52

00:00:04.664 --> 00:00:09.614
At that time, the Lord said to me, chisel
out two stone tablets like the first ones.

00:00:10.034 --> 00:00:13.634
Also make a wooden arc, a
sacred chest to store them in.

00:00:14.324 --> 00:00:18.014
Come up to me on the mountain and I
will write on the tablets, the same

00:00:18.019 --> 00:00:20.054
words that were on the ones you smashed.

00:00:20.624 --> 00:00:26.684
Then placed the tablets in the arc, so
I made an arc of Acacia wood and cut

00:00:26.684 --> 00:00:28.694
two stone tablets like the first two.

00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:32.939
Then I went up the mountain
with the tablets in my hand.

00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:35.759
Once again, the Lord wrote
the 10 commandments on the

00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:37.619
tablets and gave them to me.

00:00:38.429 --> 00:00:39.419
They were the same words.

00:00:39.419 --> 00:00:42.959
The Lord had spoken to you from the
heart of the fire on the day you were

00:00:42.959 --> 00:00:44.459
assembled at the foot of the mountain.

00:00:45.299 --> 00:00:48.779
Then I turned and came down the
mountain and placed the tablets in

00:00:48.779 --> 00:00:53.519
the arc of the covenant, which I had
made just as the Lord commanded me.

00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:56.699
And the tablets are
still there in the arc.

00:00:57.884 --> 00:01:02.204
The people of Israel set out from the
wells of the people of Akan and traveled

00:01:02.204 --> 00:01:05.474
to Mora where Aaron died and was buried.

00:01:06.164 --> 00:01:09.224
His son Eliezer ministered
as high priest in his place.

00:01:10.034 --> 00:01:14.444
Then they journeyed to gut goda
and from there to jaha a land

00:01:14.444 --> 00:01:16.394
with many Brooks and streams.

00:01:17.324 --> 00:01:21.224
At that time, the Lord set apart
the tribe of Levi to carry the arc

00:01:21.229 --> 00:01:25.754
of the Lord's covenant and to stand
before the Lord as his ministers and

00:01:25.754 --> 00:01:27.464
to pronounce blessings in his name.

00:01:28.394 --> 00:01:30.284
These are their duties to this day.

00:01:31.034 --> 00:01:34.724
That is why the Levites have no share
of property or possession of land

00:01:34.724 --> 00:01:36.614
among the other Israelite tribes.

00:01:37.394 --> 00:01:42.614
The Lord himself is their special
possession as the Lord your God told them.

00:01:43.589 --> 00:01:47.879
As for me, I stayed on the mountain
in the Lord's presence for 40 days and

00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:52.439
nights as I had done the first time,
and once again, the Lord listened to

00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:54.959
my pleas and agreed not to destroy you.

00:01:55.529 --> 00:01:59.969
Then the Lord said to me, get up
and resume the journey and lead the

00:01:59.974 --> 00:02:04.079
people to the land I swore to give
to their ancestors so they may take

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.889
possession of it and now is real.

00:02:08.609 --> 00:02:11.099
What does the Lord your
God require of you?

00:02:11.969 --> 00:02:16.049
He requires only that you fear the
Lord your God and live in a way that

00:02:16.049 --> 00:02:20.309
pleases him and love him and serve
him with all your heart and soul.

00:02:21.059 --> 00:02:25.319
And you must always obey the Lord's
commands and decrees that I am giving you

00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:32.069
today for your own good look, the highest
heavens and the earth and everything in

00:02:32.069 --> 00:02:34.139
it all belonged to the Lord your God.

00:02:35.009 --> 00:02:38.819
Yet the Lord chose your ancestors
as the objects of his love.

00:02:39.539 --> 00:02:45.299
He chose you, their descendants above
all other nations, as is evident today.

00:02:46.019 --> 00:02:50.849
Therefore, change your hearts and
stop being stubborn for the Lord.

00:02:50.849 --> 00:02:54.929
Your God is the God of
Gods and Lord of lords.

00:02:55.559 --> 00:03:00.869
He is the great God, the mighty
and awesome God who shows no

00:03:00.869 --> 00:03:03.299
partiality and cannot be bribed.

00:03:04.139 --> 00:03:07.409
He ensures that orphans
and widows receive justice.

00:03:08.069 --> 00:03:12.029
He shows love to the foreigners living
among you and gives them food and

00:03:12.029 --> 00:03:18.059
clothing, so you too must show love
to foreigners for you yourselves.

00:03:18.064 --> 00:03:23.039
Were once foreigners in the land of
Egypt, you must fear the Lord your God,

00:03:23.219 --> 00:03:25.559
and worship him and clinging to him.

00:03:26.369 --> 00:03:28.949
Your oaths must be in his name alone.

00:03:29.654 --> 00:03:34.514
He alone is your God, the only one
who is worthy of your praise, the one

00:03:34.514 --> 00:03:38.474
who has done these mighty miracles
that you have seen with your own eyes.

00:03:39.464 --> 00:03:43.394
When your ancestors went down into
Egypt, there were only 70 of them,

00:03:44.054 --> 00:03:48.944
but now the Lord your God has made you
as numerous as the stars and the sky.

00:03:49.934 --> 00:03:53.894
You must love the Lord your God
and always obey his requirements,

00:03:53.984 --> 00:03:56.534
decrees, regulations, and commands.

00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.959
Keep in mind that I am not talking
now to your children who have never

00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:05.219
experienced the discipline of the
Lord your God, or seeing his greatness

00:04:05.219 --> 00:04:07.319
and his strong hand and powerful arm.

00:04:08.189 --> 00:04:11.669
They didn't see the miraculous signs
and wonders he performed in Egypt

00:04:11.669 --> 00:04:13.889
against Pharaoh and all his land.

00:04:14.669 --> 00:04:18.959
They didn't see what the Lord did to
the armies of Egypt and to their horses

00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:23.279
and chariots, how he drowned them in
the Red Sea as they were chasing you.

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.809
He destroyed them and they have
not recovered this very day.

00:04:29.009 --> 00:04:31.679
Your children didn't see how
the Lord cared for you in the

00:04:31.679 --> 00:04:33.989
wilderness until you arrived here.

00:04:34.859 --> 00:04:40.619
They didn't see what he did to Dathan and
Ab Byram, the sons of Alaya, a descendant

00:04:40.619 --> 00:04:46.079
of Reuben when the Earth opened its mouth
in the Israelite camp and swallowed them

00:04:46.469 --> 00:04:50.639
along with their households and tents and
every living thing that belonged to them.

00:04:51.824 --> 00:04:55.964
But you have seen the Lord perform all
these mighty deeds with your own eyes.

00:04:57.134 --> 00:05:01.064
Therefore, be careful to obey every
command I am giving you today.

00:05:01.604 --> 00:05:05.624
So you may have strength to go in and
take over the land you are about to enter.

00:05:06.344 --> 00:05:11.954
If you obey, you will enjoy a long life
in the land the Lord swore to give to your

00:05:11.954 --> 00:05:15.314
ancestors and to you their descendants.

00:05:15.764 --> 00:05:18.314
The land flowing with milk and honey.

00:05:19.229 --> 00:05:21.539
For the land you are about
to enter and take over.

00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:25.949
It's not like the land of Egypt from
which you came, where you planted your

00:05:25.949 --> 00:05:30.389
seed and made irrigation ditches with
your foot as in a vegetable garden.

00:05:31.169 --> 00:05:35.489
Rather, the land you will soon take
over as a land of hills and valleys

00:05:35.489 --> 00:05:40.859
with plenty of rain, a land that the
Lord your God cares for, he watches

00:05:40.864 --> 00:05:42.929
over it through each season of the year.

00:05:43.619 --> 00:05:47.939
If you carefully obey the commands I'm
giving you today, And if you love the Lord

00:05:47.939 --> 00:05:53.309
your God and serve him with all your heart
and soul, then he will send the reigns in

00:05:53.309 --> 00:05:59.339
their proper seasons, the early and late
rains, so you can bring in your harvests

00:05:59.344 --> 00:06:02.639
of grain, new wine, and olive oil.

00:06:03.539 --> 00:06:08.789
He will give you lush pasture land
for your livestock, and you yourselves

00:06:09.059 --> 00:06:10.619
will have all you want to eat.

00:06:11.969 --> 00:06:12.929
But be careful.

00:06:13.754 --> 00:06:17.204
Don't let your heart be deceived
so that you turn away from the Lord

00:06:17.204 --> 00:06:19.184
and serve and worship other gods.

00:06:20.024 --> 00:06:23.084
If you do, the Lord's anger
will burn against you.

00:06:23.714 --> 00:06:26.534
He will shut up the sky and hold back.

00:06:26.534 --> 00:06:29.834
The rain and the ground will
fail to produce its harvests.

00:06:30.144 --> 00:06:34.544
Then you will quickly die and that
good land the Lord is giving you.

00:06:35.684 --> 00:06:38.714
So commit yourselves wholeheartedly
to these words of mine.

00:06:39.374 --> 00:06:43.094
Tie them to your hands and wear
them on your forehead as reminders.

00:06:43.844 --> 00:06:45.314
Teach them to your children.

00:06:46.004 --> 00:06:49.964
Talk about them when you are at home and
when you are on the road, when you're

00:06:49.964 --> 00:06:52.274
going to bed, and when you are getting up.

00:06:53.204 --> 00:06:57.524
Write them on the doorposts of your
house and on your gates so that as long

00:06:57.529 --> 00:07:01.724
as the sky remains above the earth,
you and your children may flourish.

00:07:01.724 --> 00:07:04.484
And the land the Lord swore
to give your ancestors.

00:07:05.294 --> 00:07:08.324
Be careful to obey all these
commands I am giving you.

00:07:08.909 --> 00:07:14.249
Show love to the Lord your God, by walking
in his ways and holding tightly to him.

00:07:15.029 --> 00:07:18.779
Then the Lord will drive out all the
nations ahead of you, though they are

00:07:18.779 --> 00:07:22.709
much greater and stronger than you
and you will take over their land.

00:07:23.609 --> 00:07:27.239
Wherever you set foot,
that land will be yours.

00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:32.159
Your frontiers will stretch from the
wilderness in the south to Lebanon in the

00:07:32.159 --> 00:07:37.559
north and from the Euphrates River in the
East to the Mediterranean Sea in the west.

00:07:38.159 --> 00:07:41.459
No one will be able to stand
against you for the Lord.

00:07:41.459 --> 00:07:46.049
Your God will cause the people to
fear and dread you as he promised

00:07:46.379 --> 00:07:48.599
wherever you go in the whole land.

00:07:49.739 --> 00:07:54.449
Look, today I am giving you the
choice between a blessing and a curse.

00:07:55.019 --> 00:07:58.229
You will be blessed if you obey
the commands of the Lord your

00:07:58.229 --> 00:08:00.239
God that I am giving you today.

00:08:00.929 --> 00:08:04.949
But you will be cursed if you reject
the commands of the Lord your God,

00:08:05.129 --> 00:08:08.759
and turn away from him into worship
Gods you have not known before.

00:08:09.899 --> 00:08:14.189
When the Lord your God brings you into the
land and helps you take possession of it,

00:08:14.699 --> 00:08:18.659
you must pronounce the blessing at Mount
Garrison and the curse at Mount Evil.

00:08:19.259 --> 00:08:23.189
These two mountains are west of the Jordan
River and the land of the Canaanites who

00:08:23.189 --> 00:08:28.319
live in the Jordan Valley near the town
of Gilgal, not far from the oaks of Mora.

00:08:29.084 --> 00:08:32.294
For you are about to cross the
Jordan River, to take over the land,

00:08:32.294 --> 00:08:33.944
the Lord your God has given you.

00:08:34.814 --> 00:08:38.474
When you take that land and are
living in it, you must be careful

00:08:38.474 --> 00:08:42.104
to obey all the decrees and
regulations I am giving you today.

00:08:43.814 --> 00:08:46.664
This concludes today's
immerse reading experience.

00:08:46.814 --> 00:08:47.774
Thank you for joining us.
