Day 85 - Read Numbers 32

July 17, 2024 • Numbers 32

The descendants of Gad and Reuben asked Moses to grant them possession of land east of the Jordan instead of going with all of Israel to take the promised land. Moses reminded them of their fathers who encouraged the people not to go into the promised land when the spies returned from the land, and the punishment by God not to allow that generation to enter the land. The people of Gad and Reuben agreed that they would cross the Jordan with all of Israel to fight, but they would then return to this land that they possessed if Moses would agree to allow them to take it. Moses agreed and they took the land and built cities for themselves.

Day 95 - Read Deuteronomy 15-16

July 27, 2024 • Deuteronomy 15—16

God gave laws concerning the Sabbatical Year, a time when debts would be forgiven. Israel was told to trust God, and He would provide for them as long as they served Him and obeyed His commands. Moses continued to remind the children of the adult generation that left Egypt to obey the commands of God and remember His provisions. Israel was to continue to observe Passover, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Booths. Justice should be followed, and worship should remain pure and undefiled. Idols were not to be worshiped by God’s people.

Day 94 - Read Deuteronomy 13-14

July 26, 2024 • Deuteronomy 13—14

Israel was warned that false prophets would attempt to lead them away from God to worship unknown gods. Anyone who attempted to draw the people of Israel from God were to be destroyed along with their possessions. God instructed His people on clean and unclean food. He instructed His people to tithe, taking the offering to the place of worship designated by God. They were to present their offering, eat according to God’s Law, and providing the required portion of the tithe to the Levites who served God’s place of worship.

Day 93 - Read Deuteronomy 11-12

July 25, 2024 • Deuteronomy 11—12

Moses charged Israel to obey God and remember the great things He did in Egypt and on their journey to the promised land. Moses described the promised land as a good land that would provide for the needs of Israel. He charged them to share the goodness of God with their children at all times and to teach them to hold fast to God’s Law, and they would be blessed. If they chose to turn from God, they would be cursed. Israel was instructed to seek the place to worship God once they possessed the land. They were to destroy the idols and altars built by their enemies for the worship of their gods. Israel was commanded to worship God alone, according to God’s instructions alone.
