--> 00:00:09.278 that same day the Lord said to Moses, go to Moab to the mountains 00:00:09.278 --> 00:00:13.448 east of the river, and climb Mount Nebo, which is across from Jericho. 00:00:14.438 --> 00:00:18.698 Look out across the land of Canaan, the land I am giving to the people of 00:00:18.698 --> 00:00:21.188 Israel as their own special possession. 00:00:21.638 --> 00:00:23.378 Then you will die there on the mountain. 00:00:24.068 --> 00:00:25.628 You will join your ancestors. 00:00:26.048 --> 00:00:30.908 Just as Aaron, your brother, died on Mount whore and joined his ancestors 00:00:31.838 --> 00:00:35.738 for both of you betrayed me with the Israelites at the waters of Marba. 00:00:35.798 --> 00:00:41.228 At Kadish in the wilderness of Zinn, you failed to demonstrate my holiness 00:00:41.228 --> 00:00:42.578 to the people of Israel there. 00:00:43.358 --> 00:00:47.948 So you'll see the land from a distance, but you may not enter the land I 00:00:47.948 --> 00:00:49.478 am giving to the people of Israel. 00:00:51.293 --> 00:00:55.283 This is the blessing that Moses, the man of God, gave to the 00:00:55.283 --> 00:00:56.963 people of Israel before his death. 00:00:58.583 --> 00:01:02.633 The Lord came from Mount Sinai and dawned upon us from Mount ssr. 00:01:03.023 --> 00:01:08.273 He shone forth from Mount Parin and came from ish with 00:01:08.273 --> 00:01:10.103 flaming fire at his right hand. 00:01:10.853 --> 00:01:12.473 Indeed, he loves his people. 00:01:12.863 --> 00:01:15.023 All his holy ones are in his hands. 00:01:15.743 --> 00:01:18.533 They follow in his steps and accept his teaching. 00:01:19.223 --> 00:01:22.403 Moses gave us the Lord's instruction, the special 00:01:22.403 --> 00:01:24.083 possession of the people of Israel. 00:01:24.923 --> 00:01:29.813 The Lord became king in Israel when the leaders of the people assembled, when 00:01:29.813 --> 00:01:31.943 the tribes of Israel gathered as one. 00:01:33.263 --> 00:01:35.363 Moses said this about the tribe of Reuben. 00:01:36.323 --> 00:01:40.883 Let the tribe of Reuben live and not die out, though they are few in number. 00:01:42.053 --> 00:01:44.063 Moses said this about the tribe of Judah. 00:01:45.053 --> 00:01:49.073 Oh Lord, hear the cry of Judah and bring them together as a people. 00:01:49.553 --> 00:01:51.683 Give them strength to defend their cause. 00:01:51.863 --> 00:01:53.543 Help them against their enemies. 00:01:54.923 --> 00:01:57.143 Moses said this about the tribe of Levi. 00:01:57.923 --> 00:02:02.123 Oh Lord, you have given your thumb and youram the sacred 00:02:02.123 --> 00:02:04.373 lots to your faithful servants. 00:02:04.403 --> 00:02:05.183 The Levites. 00:02:05.723 --> 00:02:08.723 You put them to the test at NASA and struggled with 00:02:08.723 --> 00:02:10.163 them at the waters of Marba. 00:02:10.928 --> 00:02:14.318 The Levites obeyed your word and guarded your covenant. 00:02:14.918 --> 00:02:17.858 They were more loyal to you than to their own parents. 00:02:18.428 --> 00:02:22.148 They ignored their relatives and did not acknowledge their own children. 00:02:23.048 --> 00:02:25.238 They teach your regulations to Jacob. 00:02:25.568 --> 00:02:27.728 They give your instructions to Israel. 00:02:28.418 --> 00:02:32.948 They present incense before you and offer whole burnt offerings on the altar. 00:02:33.698 --> 00:02:36.878 Bless the ministry of the Levites, oh Lord, and accept 00:02:36.878 --> 00:02:37.958 all the work of their hands. 00:02:38.918 --> 00:02:40.958 Hit their enemies where it hurts the most. 00:02:41.198 --> 00:02:44.288 Strike down their foes so they never rise again. 00:02:46.118 --> 00:02:48.638 Moses said this about the tribe of Benjamin. 00:02:49.628 --> 00:02:53.498 The people of Benjamin are loved by the Lord and live in safety beside him. 00:02:53.978 --> 00:02:57.668 He surrounds them continuously and preserves them from every harm. 00:02:59.258 --> 00:03:01.658 Moses said this about the tribes of Joseph. 00:03:02.603 --> 00:03:07.313 May their land be blessed by the Lord with the precious gift of dew from the heavens 00:03:07.613 --> 00:03:12.473 and water from beneath the earth, with the rich fruit that grows in the sun and 00:03:12.473 --> 00:03:17.243 the rich harvest produced each month with the finest crops of the ancient mountains 00:03:17.693 --> 00:03:22.643 and the abundance from the everlasting hills with the best gifts of the earth 00:03:22.853 --> 00:03:26.903 and its bounty, and the favor of the one who appeared in the burning bush. 00:03:27.893 --> 00:03:30.923 May these blessings rest on Joseph's head. 00:03:31.553 --> 00:03:35.903 Crowning the brow of the prince among his brothers, Joseph has 00:03:35.903 --> 00:03:37.673 the majesty of a young bull. 00:03:37.943 --> 00:03:40.133 He has the horns of a wild ox. 00:03:40.553 --> 00:03:44.303 He will gore distant nations even to the ends of the earth. 00:03:45.323 --> 00:03:49.973 This is my blessing for the multitudes of Ephraim and the thousands of Manasses. 00:03:51.443 --> 00:03:54.623 Moses said this about the tribes of Zein and Issachar. 00:03:56.243 --> 00:03:58.943 May the people of Zein prosper in their travels. 00:03:59.558 --> 00:04:02.348 May the people of Issachar prosper at home in their tents. 00:04:03.098 --> 00:04:06.638 They summoned the people to the mountain to offer proper sacrifices. 00:04:06.638 --> 00:04:11.858 There they benefit from the riches of the sea and the hidden treasures in the sand. 00:04:13.478 --> 00:04:15.728 Moses said this about the tribe of Gadd. 00:04:16.628 --> 00:04:18.728 Blessed is the one who enlarges Gads territory. 00:04:19.928 --> 00:04:24.608 Gadd is poised there like a lion to tear off an arm or a head. 00:04:25.388 --> 00:04:28.148 The people of Gadd took the best land for themselves. 00:04:28.448 --> 00:04:30.548 A leader's share was assigned to them. 00:04:30.938 --> 00:04:33.788 When the leaders of the people were assembled, they carried out 00:04:33.788 --> 00:04:37.388 the Lord's justice and obeyed his regulations for Israel. 00:04:38.768 --> 00:04:41.348 Moses said this about the tribe of Dan. 00:04:42.248 --> 00:04:44.958 Dan is a lion's cub, leaping out from ba. 00:04:46.358 --> 00:04:48.428 Moses said this about the tribe of Naftali. 00:04:49.473 --> 00:04:50.573 Oh, NAFT to lie. 00:04:50.963 --> 00:04:54.083 You are rich in favor and full of the Lord's blessings. 00:04:54.443 --> 00:04:56.483 May you possess the west and the south. 00:04:57.653 --> 00:04:59.843 Moses said this about the tribe of Asher. 00:05:00.893 --> 00:05:03.323 May Asher be blessed above other sons. 00:05:03.863 --> 00:05:05.903 May he be esteemed by his brothers. 00:05:06.503 --> 00:05:08.543 May he bathe his feet in olive oil. 00:05:09.173 --> 00:05:11.903 May the bolts of your gates be of iron and bronze. 00:05:12.623 --> 00:05:14.993 May you be secure all your days. 00:05:16.088 --> 00:05:18.158 There is no one like the God of Israel. 00:05:18.518 --> 00:05:22.298 He rides across the heavens to help you across the skies. 00:05:22.298 --> 00:05:27.068 In majestic splendor, the eternal God is your refuge and his 00:05:27.068 --> 00:05:28.718 everlasting arms are under you. 00:05:29.318 --> 00:05:31.328 He drives out the enemy before you. 00:05:31.508 --> 00:05:37.448 He cries out, destroy them so Israel will live in safety, prosperous Jacob. 00:05:37.538 --> 00:05:43.568 Insecurity in a land of grain and new wine while the heavens drop down. 00:05:43.573 --> 00:05:44.108 Do. 00:05:44.828 --> 00:05:46.088 How blessed are you? 00:05:46.088 --> 00:05:46.868 Who is real? 00:05:47.378 --> 00:05:48.488 Who else is like you? 00:05:48.638 --> 00:05:50.288 A people saved by the Lord. 00:05:50.678 --> 00:05:53.738 He's your protecting shield and your triumphant sword. 00:05:54.128 --> 00:05:58.028 Your enemies will cringe before you and you will stomp on their backs. 00:05:59.648 --> 00:06:04.598 Then Moses went up to Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab and climbed Pisca 00:06:04.598 --> 00:06:09.788 Peak, which is across from Jericho, and the Lord showed him the whole land. 00:06:10.358 --> 00:06:15.788 From Gilead as far as Dan, all the land of Naftaly, the land of Efraim 00:06:15.968 --> 00:06:21.488 and Manasses, all the land of Judah extending to the Mediterranean Sea, the 00:06:21.493 --> 00:06:27.248 Negev, the Jordan Valley with Jericho, the city of Palms as far as Zoar. 00:06:28.028 --> 00:06:32.198 Then the Lord said to Moses, this is the land I promised on oath 00:06:32.228 --> 00:06:34.718 to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 00:06:35.108 --> 00:06:38.138 When I said, I will give it to your descendants. 00:06:39.218 --> 00:06:43.838 I have now allowed you to see it with your own eyes, but you will not enter the land. 00:06:45.068 --> 00:06:48.968 So Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of 00:06:48.968 --> 00:06:51.578 Moab, just as the Lord had said. 00:06:52.688 --> 00:06:56.138 The Lord buried him in a valley near Beth Piore in Moab. 00:06:56.708 --> 00:06:59.198 But to this day, no one knows the exact place. 00:07:00.218 --> 00:07:04.958 Moses was 120 years old when he died, yet his eyesight was clear 00:07:05.138 --> 00:07:06.668 and he was as strong as ever. 00:07:07.463 --> 00:07:12.773 The people of Israel mourn for Moses on the planes of Moab for 30 days until the 00:07:12.773 --> 00:07:14.723 customary period of mourning was over. 00:07:15.803 --> 00:07:20.363 Now, Joshua, son of none, was full of the spirit of wisdom for Moses 00:07:20.363 --> 00:07:24.653 had laid his hands on him, so the people of Israel obeyed him doing 00:07:24.653 --> 00:07:26.663 just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 00:07:26.763 --> 00:07:31.523 There has never been another prophet in Israel like Moses, 00:07:31.733 --> 00:07:33.533 whom the Lord knew face to face. 00:07:34.778 --> 00:07:38.618 The Lord sent him to perform all the miraculous signs and wonders in the 00:07:38.618 --> 00:07:43.358 land of Egypt against Pharaoh and all his servants and his entire land. 00:07:44.228 --> 00:07:48.398 With mighty power, Moses performed terrifying acts 00:07:48.458 --> 00:07:50.288 in the sight of all Israel. 00:07:55.088 --> 00:07:57.908 This concludes today's immerse reading experience. 00:07:58.058 --> 00:07:59.288 Thank you for joining us.
