1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,800 Hello, this is Father Paul and I'm glad we're taking this journey together to read the Bible 2 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,600 in a year. 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:13,640 Today's reading is from Numbers chapters 32 to 34. 4 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:14,640 Chapter 32 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:19,600 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock, 6 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,520 and when they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, that indeed the region was 7 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,700 a place for livestock, the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke 8 00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:33,160 to Moses, to Eliezer the priest and to the leaders of the congregation saying, Atoroth, 9 00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:40,040 Dabon, Jazer, Nimrah, Hezbon, Elielah, Shebam, Nebo and Beon. 10 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,800 The country which the Lord defeated before the congregation of Israel is a land for livestock, 11 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,960 and your servants have livestock. 12 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,160 Therefore they said, If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your 13 00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:52,800 servants as a possession. 14 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,700 Do not take us over the Jordan. 15 00:00:54,700 --> 00:00:58,240 And Moses said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren 16 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,480 go to war while you sit here? 17 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,600 Now why will you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the 18 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,840 land which the Lord has given them? 19 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,180 Thus your fathers did when I sent them away from Kadesh Barnea to see the land. 20 00:01:12,180 --> 00:01:16,160 For when they went up to the valley of Eshkol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart 21 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,360 of the children of Israel, so that they did not go into the land which the Lord had given 22 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,360 them. 23 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,040 The Lord's anger was aroused on that day, and he swore an oath, saying, Surely none 24 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,600 of the men who came up from Egypt from twenty years old and above shall see the land of 25 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,720 which I swore to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, because they have not wholly followed me, 26 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:41,340 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Canizite, and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have wholly 27 00:01:41,340 --> 00:01:42,740 followed the Lord. 28 00:01:42,740 --> 00:01:47,680 So the Lord's anger was aroused against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness 29 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,920 forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the Lord was 30 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,920 gone. 31 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,260 And look, you have risen in your father's place, a brood of sinful men, to increase 32 00:01:57,260 --> 00:02:00,720 still more the fierce anger of the Lord against Israel. 33 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,280 For if you turn away from following him, he will once again leave them in the wilderness, 34 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,760 and you will destroy all these people. 35 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,000 Then they came near to him and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and 36 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,860 cities for our little ones. 37 00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:17,800 But we ourselves will be armed, ready to go before the children of Israel until we have 38 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,380 brought them to their place, and our little ones will dwell in the fortified cities because 39 00:02:22,380 --> 00:02:24,320 of the inhabitants of the land. 40 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,360 We will not return to our homes until every one of the children of Israel has received 41 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:33,280 his inheritance, for we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, 42 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,720 because our inheritance has fallen to us on this eastern side of the Jordan. 43 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,000 Then Moses said to them, If you do this thing, if you arm yourselves before the Lord for 44 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,800 the war, and all your armed men cross over the Jordan before the Lord until he has driven 45 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,320 out his enemies from before him, and the land is subdued before the Lord, then afterward 46 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,480 you may return and be blameless before the Lord and before Israel, and this land shall 47 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,800 be your possession before the Lord. 48 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,320 But if you do not do so, then take note, you have sinned against the Lord, and be sure 49 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,680 your sin will find you out. 50 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,840 Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep, and do what has proceeded 51 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,240 out of your mouth. 52 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,340 Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Your servants 53 00:03:14,340 --> 00:03:16,320 will do as my Lord commands. 54 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,560 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock will be there in the cities 55 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:22,560 of Gilead. 56 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:28,160 But your servants will cross over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to battle, 57 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,480 just as my Lord says. 58 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,040 So Moses gave command concerning them to Eliezer the priest, to Joshua the son of Nun, and 59 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,320 to the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel. 60 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,000 And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben cross over 61 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,080 the Jordan with you, every man armed for battle before the Lord, and the land is subdued before 62 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,140 you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead as a possession. 63 00:03:50,140 --> 00:03:54,840 But if they do not cross over armed with you, they shall have possessions among you in the 64 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,400 land of Canaan. 65 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,040 Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the Lord has 66 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,480 said to your servants, so we will do. 67 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,000 We will cross over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan. 68 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,680 But the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us on this side of the Jordan. 69 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,520 So Moses gave to the children of Gad, to the children of Reuben, and to have the tribe 70 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,800 of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom 71 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:24,480 of Og king of Bashan, the land with its cities within the borders, the cities of the surrounding 72 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,480 country. 73 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:31,360 And the children of Gad built Dibon and Atoroth and Aror, Atroth and Shofan and Jazer, and 74 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:37,480 Jogbehah, Beit Nimrah and Beit Haran fortified cities, and foals for sheep. 75 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:43,680 And the children of Reuben built Hezbon and Elayla and Kirjasim, Nebo and Beal-Meon, their 76 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,500 names being changed, and Shibma. 77 00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:49,440 And they gave other names to the cities which they dwelt. 78 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,240 And the children of Makir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead and took it, and this possessed 79 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,200 the Amorites who were in it. 80 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,680 So Moses called Gilead to Makir the son of Manasseh and he dwelt in it. 81 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:05,200 Also Gilead the son of Manasseh went and took its small towns and called them Havoth Gire. 82 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:11,920 Then Noba went and took Kinat and its villages, and he called it Noba after his own name. 83 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,880 Chapter 33 These are the journeys of the children of 84 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,840 Israel who went out of the land of Egypt by their names under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 85 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:24,580 Now Moses wrote down the starting points of their journeys at the command of the Lord, 86 00:05:24,580 --> 00:05:28,100 and these are their journeys according to their starting points. 87 00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:32,840 They departed from Ramses in the first month on the fifteenth day of the first month. 88 00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:37,380 On the day after the Passover the children of Israel went out with boldness in the sight 89 00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:38,820 of all the Egyptians. 90 00:05:38,820 --> 00:05:43,820 For the Egyptians were burying all their first born, whom the Lord had killed among them. 91 00:05:43,820 --> 00:05:47,240 Also on their gods the Lord had executed judgments. 92 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,900 Then the children of Israel moved from Ramses and camped at Sukkot. 93 00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:55,380 They departed from Sukkot and camped at Itam which is on the edge of the wilderness. 94 00:05:55,380 --> 00:06:00,500 They moved from Itam and turned back to Pai Hahirat which is east of Baal Ziphon and they 95 00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:02,020 camped near Megdol. 96 00:06:02,020 --> 00:06:07,140 They departed from before Hahirat and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, 97 00:06:07,140 --> 00:06:11,260 went three days journey in the wilderness of Itam and camped at Marah. 98 00:06:11,260 --> 00:06:13,520 They moved from Marah and came to Elim. 99 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,600 At Elim were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, so they camped there. 100 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,500 They moved from Elim and camped by the Red Sea. 101 00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:24,560 They moved from the Red Sea and camped in the wilderness of Sin. 102 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,420 They journeyed from the wilderness of Sin and camped at Such talks sheltered by Very 103 00:06:27,420 --> 00:06:46,180 good and strong 104 00:06:46,180 --> 00:06:52,780 Good people have RPG estado gasexplosion 105 00:07:22,780 --> 00:07:25,840 They departed from Moceroth and camped at Bene-Jacan. 106 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,180 They moved from Bene-Jacan and camped at Hor Hagid-Gad. 107 00:07:29,180 --> 00:07:32,500 They went from Hor Hagid-Gad and camped at Jodhbata. 108 00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:35,660 They moved from Jodhbata and camped at Abrona. 109 00:07:35,660 --> 00:07:38,760 They departed from Abrona and camped at Ezion-Geber. 110 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,380 They moved from Ezion-Geber and camped in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kaddish. 111 00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:48,460 They moved from Kaddish and camped at Mount Hor on the boundary of the land of Edom. 112 00:07:48,460 --> 00:07:52,580 Then Aaron the priest went up to Mount Hor at the command of the Lord and died there in 113 00:07:52,580 --> 00:07:57,740 the fortieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt on the first 114 00:07:57,740 --> 00:07:59,780 day of the fifth month. 115 00:07:59,780 --> 00:08:04,180 Aaron was 123 years old when he died on Mount Hor. 116 00:08:04,180 --> 00:08:08,820 Now the king of Arad, the Canaanite, who dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard 117 00:08:08,820 --> 00:08:10,860 of the coming of the children of Israel. 118 00:08:10,860 --> 00:08:14,020 So they departed from Mount Hor and camped at Zalmona. 119 00:08:14,020 --> 00:08:16,820 They departed from Zalmona and camped at Pounon. 120 00:08:16,820 --> 00:08:19,180 They departed from Pounon and camped at Uboth. 121 00:08:19,180 --> 00:08:23,580 They departed from Uboth and camped at Ij-Abarim at the border of Moab. 122 00:08:23,580 --> 00:08:26,900 They departed from Ij-Abarim and camped at Dibongad. 123 00:08:26,900 --> 00:08:30,980 They moved from Dibongad and camped at Almon-Diblateim. 124 00:08:30,980 --> 00:08:35,680 They moved from Almon-Diblateim and camped in the mountains of Abarim before Nebo. 125 00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:39,900 They departed from the mountains of Abarim and camped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan 126 00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:41,300 across from Jericho. 127 00:08:41,300 --> 00:08:46,540 They camped by the Jordan from Beth-Jesumoth as far as the Abel-Akesha grove in the plains 128 00:08:46,540 --> 00:08:47,700 of Moab. 129 00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:51,820 Now the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho 130 00:08:51,820 --> 00:08:56,780 saying, Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When you have crossed the Jordan 131 00:08:56,780 --> 00:09:01,780 into the land of Canaan, then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before 132 00:09:01,780 --> 00:09:07,100 you, destroy all their engraved stones, destroy all their molded images, and demolish all 133 00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:08,460 their high places. 134 00:09:08,460 --> 00:09:12,100 You shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land and dwell in it. 135 00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:16,700 For I have given you the land to possess, and you shall divide the land by lot as an 136 00:09:16,700 --> 00:09:18,620 inheritance among your families. 137 00:09:18,620 --> 00:09:22,900 To the larger you shall give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give a smaller 138 00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:23,900 inheritance. 139 00:09:23,900 --> 00:09:27,980 There, everyone's inheritance shall be whatever falls to him by lot. 140 00:09:27,980 --> 00:09:30,980 You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers. 141 00:09:30,980 --> 00:09:34,740 But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall 142 00:09:34,740 --> 00:09:39,900 be that those whom you let remain shall be irritants in your eyes and thorns in your 143 00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:43,740 sides, and they shall harass you in the land where you dwell. 144 00:09:43,740 --> 00:09:48,460 Moreover, it shall be that I will do to you as I thought to do to them. 145 00:09:48,460 --> 00:09:51,980 Chapter 34 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Command 146 00:09:51,980 --> 00:09:56,140 the children of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land of Canaan, this is 147 00:09:56,140 --> 00:10:01,100 the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance, the land of Canaan, to its boundaries. 148 00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:05,960 Your southern border shall be from the wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. 149 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,300 Then your southern border shall extend eastward to the end of the salt sea. 150 00:10:10,300 --> 00:10:15,740 Your border shall turn from the southern side of the ascent of Akrabim, continue to Zin, 151 00:10:15,740 --> 00:10:18,500 and be on the south of Kadesh Barnea. 152 00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:22,860 Then it shall go on to Hazar Adar and continue to Azman. 153 00:10:22,860 --> 00:10:27,740 The border shall turn from Azman to the brook of Egypt and it shall end at the sea. 154 00:10:27,740 --> 00:10:31,500 As for the western border, you shall have the great sea for a border. 155 00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:33,780 This shall be your western border. 156 00:10:33,780 --> 00:10:36,000 And this shall be your northern border. 157 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,100 From the great sea, you shall mark out your border line to Mount Hor. 158 00:10:40,100 --> 00:10:44,140 From Mount Hor, you shall mark out your border to the entrance of Hamad. 159 00:10:44,140 --> 00:10:47,500 Then the direction of the border shall be toward Zidad. 160 00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:51,780 The border shall proceed to Zephron and it shall end at Hazar Inan. 161 00:10:51,780 --> 00:10:53,900 This shall be your northern border. 162 00:10:53,900 --> 00:10:58,020 You shall mark out your eastern border from Hazar Inan to Shefam. 163 00:10:58,020 --> 00:11:02,100 The border shall go down from Shefam to Ribla on the east side of Ain. 164 00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:06,380 The border shall go down and reach to the eastern side of the sea of Shinareth. 165 00:11:06,380 --> 00:11:10,440 The border shall go down along the Jordan and it shall end at the salt sea. 166 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,540 This shall be your land with its surrounding boundaries. 167 00:11:13,540 --> 00:11:18,180 The Moses commanded the children of Israel saying, This is the land which you shall inherit 168 00:11:18,180 --> 00:11:23,500 by lot, which the Lord has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half tribe. 169 00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:27,540 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe 170 00:11:27,540 --> 00:11:32,220 of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance, 171 00:11:32,220 --> 00:11:35,740 and the half tribe of Manasseh has received its inheritance. 172 00:11:35,740 --> 00:11:40,340 The two tribes and the half
