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.
