Immerse: Bible Reading Experience - NLT Daily Bible In A Year

Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience - Day 148

In Day 148 of Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience, the journey unfolds as the Lord instructs His people to navigate through various lands, including those of the Edomites, Moabites, Ammonites, and more. Moses recounts God's commands to avoid confrontation with these nations, respecting their divinely allotted territories. However, when encountering King Sahan of Heshbon and King Og of Bashan, the Israelites engage in battle as directed by God, achieving significant victories and acquiring vast lands. The narrative details the importance of obedience, the distribution of conquered lands among the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, and Moses urging Joshua to lead the people into the Promised Land. Despite Moses' plea to enter the land himself, God's response is firm, assigning Joshua the task of guiding the Israelites. This reading encapsulates themes of faith, obedience, and the transition of leadership vital to the Israelites' journey.

4 Questions to get your conversations started:
1. What stood out to you this week?
2. Was there anything confusing or troubling?
3. Did anything make you think differently about God?
4. How might this change the way we live?

QUICK START GUIDE
3 ways to get the most out of your experience
  1. Use Immerse: Beginnings instead of your regular chapter and verse Bible. This special reader’s edition restores the Bible to its natural simplicity and beauty by removing chapter and verse numbers and other historical additions. Letters look like letters, songs look like songs, and the original literary structures are visible in each book.
  2. Commit to making this a community experience. Immerse is designed for groups to encounter large portions of the Bible together
    for 8 weeks–more like a book club, less like a Bible study. By meeting every week in small groups and discussing what you read in open,
    honest conversations, you and your community can come together to be transformed through an authentic experience with the Scriptures.
  3. Aim to understand the big story. Read through “The Stories and the Story” (p. 483) to see how the books of the Bible work together to tell God’s story of his creation’s restoration. As you read through Immerse: Beginnings, rather than ask, “How do I fit God into my busy life?” begin asking, “How can I join in God’s great plan by living out my part in his story?”

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

Day 100 and 48

then at last, the Lord said to
me, you have been wandering around

in this hill country long enough.

Turn to the north.

Give these orders to the people you
will pass through the country, belonging

to your relatives, the Edomites, the
descendants of Esau who live in ssr.

The mites will feel
threatened, so be careful.

Do not bother them for I have given them
all the hill country around Mount Cyr

as their property and I will not give
you even one square foot of their land.

If you need food to eat or water to drink,
pay them for it for the Lord Your God has

blessed you in everything you have done.

He has watched your every step
through this great wilderness.

During these 40 years, the
Lord your God has been with you

and you have lacked nothing.

So we bypassed the territory of
our relatives, the descendants

of Esau who live in ssr.

We avoided the road through
the ABA Valley that comes up

from elah and easy and giber.

Then as we turn north along the desert
route through Moab, the Lord warned us, do

not bother the Moabites, the descendants
of lot or start a war with them.

I have given them R as their property and
I will not give you any of their land.

A race of giants called the Mites
had once live in the area of R.

They were as strong and numerous and tall
as the Anite, another race of Giants.

Both the mites and the Anite are
also known as the rites, though

the Moabites call them mites.

In earlier times, the
Horts had lived in Sr.

But they were driven out and displaced
by the descendants of Esau, just as

Israel drove out the people of Canaan.

When the Lord gave Israel
their land, Moses continued.

Then the Lord said to us, get moving.

Cross the Zeid Brook.

So we crossed the brook.

38 years passed from the time
we left Kadish Baria until we

finally crossed the sea at Brook.

By then, all the men old enough to fight
and battle had died in the wilderness

as the Lord had vowed would happen.

The Lord struck them down until they had
all been eliminated from the community.

When all the men of fighting age had died.

The Lord said to me, today, you will cross
the border of Moab at R and enter the land

of the Ammonites, the descendants of lot.

But do not bother them
or start a war with them.

I have given the land of Amin to
them as their property, and I will

not give you any of their land.

That area was once considered the land
of the rites who had lived there, though

the Ammonites call them mites, they were
also as strong and numerous and tall as

the ana kites, but the Lord destroyed them
so the emanates could occupy their land.

He had done the same for the
descendants of Esau who lived in Sr.

For.

He destroyed the Horts so they
could settle there in their place.

The descendants of Esau
lived there to this day.

A similar thing happened when the
calf writes from Crete invaded and

destroyed the Evites who had lived
in villages in the area of Gaza.

Moses continued then the
Lord said, now get moving.

Cross the Arnum Gorge.

Look, I will hand over to you Sahan,
the Emirate king of Heshbon, and

I will give you his land, attack
him, and begin to occupy the land.

Beginning today, I will make
people throughout the earth

terrified because of you.

When they hear reports about you,
they will tremble with dread and fear.

Moses continued from
the wilderness of Kema.

I sent ambassadors to King Shan of
Heshbon with this proposal, a peace.

Let us travel through your land.

We will stay in the main road and won't
turn off into the fields on either side.

Sell us food to eat and water
to drink and we will pay for it.

All we want is permission
to pass through your land.

The descendants of Esau who live in
Sear allowed us to go through their

country and so did the Moabites who
live and are let us pass through until

we cross the Jordan into the land.

The Lord our God is giving us.

But King Shan of Heshbon refused to
allow us to pass through because the

Lord your God, made Shan stubborn
and defiant so he could help you

defeat him as he has now done.

Then the Lord said to me,
look, I have begun to hand King

Shan and his land over to you.

Begin now to conquer and occupy his land.

Then King Sahan declared war on us
and mobilized his forces at JHAs.

But the Lord, our God handed him
over to us and we crushed him.

His sons and all his people.

We conquered all his towns and
completely destroyed everyone.

Men, women, and children.

Not a single person was spared.

We took all the livestock as
plunder for ourselves along with

anything of value from the towns.

We ransacked.

The Lord our God also helped us conquer a
rower on the edge of the Arnon Gorge and

the town in the Gorge and the whole area.

As far as Gilead, no town
had walls too strong for us.

However, we avoided the land of the
Ammonites all along the Jaak River

and the towns in the hill country,
all the places, the Lord our God

had commanded us to leave alone.

Next.

We turned and headed for the land
of Basian where King OG and his

entire army attacked us at EDRi.

But the Lord told me,
do not be afraid of him.

For I have given you victory
over OG and his entire army, and

I will give you all his land.

Treat him just as you treated King Shan
of the Emirates who ruled in Heshbon.

So the Lord, our God handed
King, og, and all his people over

to us, and we killed them all.

Not a single person survived.

We conquered all 60 of his
towns, the entire arg gob

region in his Kingdom of Baan.

Not a single town escaped our conquest.

These towns were all fortified
with high walls and barred gates.

We also took many un walled
villages at the same time.

We completely destroyed
the Kingdom of Baan.

Just as we had destroyed
King Sahan of Heon.

We destroyed all the people in every town.

We conquered men, women and
children alike, but we kept all

the livestock for ourselves and
took plunder from all the towns.

So we took the land of the two kings
east of the Jordan River, all the way

from the Arnon Gorge to Mount Herman.

Mount Herman is also
called Cyran by the Cy.

And the Emirates call it Sinner.

We had now conquered all the cities on
the Plateau and all Gilead and Basin as

far as the towns of Salalah and EDRi I,
which were part of a's Kingdom and Basin.

King OG Ba was the last
survivor of the giant rites.

His bed was made of iron and was more
than 13 feet long and six feet wide.

It can still be seen in
the Ammonite city of Rabba.

When we took possession of this land,
I gave to the tribes of Reuben and

Gadd, the territory Beyond Rower,
along the Arnon Gorge plus half of the

hill country of Gilead with its towns.

Then I gave the rest of Gilead and
all the Basian Bo's, former Kingdom

to the Half Tribe of Manassa.

This entire Arga region of Basian used
to be known as the Land of the Rites.

Jer, a leader from the tribe of Manas
conquered the whole Argo region in basin

all the way to the border of the Geisha
rights and Maites Jer renamed this region

after himself, calling it the Towns
of Jer, as it is still known today.

I gave Gilead to the Clan of Mechi,
but I also gave part of Gilead to the

tribes of Reuben and Gadd, the area I
gave them extended from the middle of

the Arnon Gords in the South to the
Jak River at the Ammonite Frontier.

They also received the Jordan
Valley all the way from the Sea

of Galilee down to the Dead Sea.

With the Jordan River, serving
as the western boundary to the

east were the slopes of Pisca.

At that time, I gave this command to the
tribes that would live east of the Jordan.

Although the Lord your God has given
you this land as your property, all

your fighting men must cross the Jordan
ahead of your Israelite relatives

armed and ready to assist them.

Your wives, children in numerous
livestock however, may stay behind

in the towns I have given you.

When the Lord has given security to the
rest of the Israelites, as he has to

you, and when they occupy the land, the
Lord your God has given them across the

Jordan River, then you may all return
here to the land I have given you.

At that time I gave Joshua this
charge you have seen for yourself.

Everything the Lord your God
has done to these two kings.

He will do the same to all the kingdoms
on the west side of the Jordan.

Do not be afraid of the
nations there for the Lord.

Your God will fight for you.

At that time I pleaded with the Lord and
said, oh, sovereign Lord, you have only

begun to show your greatness and the
strength of your hand to me, your servant.

Is there any God in heaven or
on earth who can perform such

great and mighty deeds as you do?

Please let me cross the Jordan
to see the wonderful land on the

other side, the beautiful hill
country and the Lebanon mountains.

But the Lord was angry with me because
of you, and he would not listen to me.

That's enough.

He declared.

Speak of it no more, but go
up to Pisco Peak and look over

the land in every direction.

Take a good look, but you may
not cross the Jordan River.

Instead, commission Joshua and
encourage and strengthen him for he

will lead the people across the Jordan.

He will give them all the land you now
see before you as their possession.

So we stayed in the valley near Beth Peor.

This concludes today's
Immerse reading experience.
