Immerse: Daily Bible Reading Experience - Day 142

Welcome to Day 142 of the Immerse Daily Bible Reading Experience. In today's episode, we explore the events at Acacia Grove where some Israelites defiled themselves with Moabite women and worshiped Baal of Peor, invoking the Lord's anger. We delve into the Lord's command to Moses to execute the ringleaders and stop the plague ravaging Israel. The story highlights Phineas's zealous act against an Israelite man and a Midianite woman, which appeased the Lord and ended the plague after 24,000 deaths. Subsequently, Phineas receives a covenant of peace and a permanent priesthood for his descendants. The episode continues with the Lord's instructions to take a census of Israelite warriors from various tribes, documenting their clans and registered troops. This reading encapsulates Israel's military organization and key familial lineages, showcasing the clans descended from the tribes of Reuben, Simeon, Gad, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph (through Manasseh and Ephraim), Benjamin, Dan, Asher, and Naphtali, totaling 601,730 registered troops. Join us as we journey through these historical and pivotal moments in Israel's history.

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?”

Malcom: Welcome to Immerse: the
Daily Bible reading Experience.

Day 100 and 42

while the Israelites were camped
at Acacia Grove, some of the men

defiled themselves by having sexual
relations with local Moabite women.

These women invited them to attend
sacrifices to their gods, so

the Israelites feasted with them
and worshiped the gods of Moab.

In this way, Israel joined in
the worship of Baal of Peor.

Causing the Lord's anger to
blaze against his people.

The Lord issued the following
command to Moses, sees all the

ringleaders and execute them
before the Lord in broad daylight.

So his fierce anger will turn
away from the people of Israel.

So Moses ordered Israel's judges.

Each of you must put to death the
men under your authority who have

joined in worshiping bail of Peor.

Just then one of the Israelite men
brought a Midianite woman into his tent

right before the eyes of Moses and all
the people, as everyone was weeping

at the entrance of the tabernacle.

When Phineas, son of Ezer and grandson
of Aaron, the priest saw this, he

jumped up and left the assembly.

He took a spear and rushed
after the man into his tent.

Phineas thrust the spear all
the way through the man's body

and into the woman's stomach.

So the plague against the
Israelites was stopped, but not

before 24,000 people had died.

Then the Lord said to Moses Phineas,
son of Ezer and grandson of Aaron,

the priest, has turned my anger
away from the Israelites by being

as zealous among them as I was.

So I stopped destroying all Israel as I
had intended to do in my zealous anger.

Now tell him that I am making
my special covenant of peace

with him in this covenant.

I give him and his descendants a
permanent right to the priesthood

for in his zeal for me, his God.

He purified the people of Israel,
making them right with me.

The Israelite man killed with the
Midianite woman was named Zimri,

son of Salu, the leader of a
family from the tribe of Simeon.

The woman's name was caused
by, she was the daughter of Zu,

the leader of a Midianite clan.

Then the Lord said to Moses, attack the
Midianites and destroy them because they

assaulted you with deceit and tricked
you into worshiping bail of Peor.

And because of Cosby, the daughter
of a Midianite leader who was

killed at the time of the plague
because of what happened at Peor

after the plague had ended, the
Lord said to Moses and to Zer, son

of Aaron, the priest from the whole
community of Israel, record the names

of all the warriors by their families.

List all the men, 20 years old or
older who are able to go to war.

So there on the plains of Moab, beside
the Jordan River, across from Jericho,

Moses and Lea are the priest issued these
instructions to the leaders of Israel.

List all the men of Israel,
20 years old and older, just

as the Lord commanded Moses.
