00:17 Hello, and welcome to His Words Are Life.
00:18 I'm Kelly Mowrer, and thank you for joining with me today to 00:22 read the Bible together. 00:23 Let's pray before we start. 00:24 Dear God, thank You that You have brought us apart to receive 00:31 from You the special offensive weapon of the word, to go and to 00:37 fight the fight of faith with, and to do the work that You've 00:41 set out for us to do today and in the future. 00:45 Please equip us now with what we are to read. 00:47 We love You so much, and thank You for loving us. 00:50 Amen. 00:51 We're reading in the book of Deuteronomy. 00:53 We're starting in chapter 26, with verse 16. 00:58 This is Moses laying out for the Israelites the different laws 01:03 and commands, and the blessings of the Lord. 01:05 Beginning in verse 16. 01:07 This day the Lord thy God hath commanded thee to do these 01:12 statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them 01:16 with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. 01:19 Thou hast avouched the Lord this day to be thy God, 01:23 and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, 01:25 and his commandments, and his judgments, 01:26 and to hearken unto his voice: and the Lord hath avouched thee 01:30 this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised 01:34 thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments; 01:37 and to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, 01:41 in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that thou mayest be a 01:46 holy people unto the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken. 01:50 We're continuing now in Deuteronomy, chapter 27. 01:54 This is the King James Version. 01:56 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, 02:00 saying, Keep all the commandments which I command 02:03 you this day. 02:04 And it shall be, on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto 02:07 the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set 02:10 thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster: 02:13 and thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, 02:17 when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land 02:21 which the Lord thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with 02:24 milk and honey; as the Lord God of thy fathers 02:26 hath promised thee. 02:27 Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall 02:31 set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount 02:35 Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster. 02:38 And there shalt thou build an altar unto the Lord thy God, 02:42 an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron 02:46 tool upon them. 02:47 Thou shalt build the altar of the Lord thy God of whole 02:50 stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto 02:54 the Lord thy God: and thou shalt offer peace offerings, 02:57 and shall eat there, and rejoice before the Lord thy God. 03:00 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this 03:04 law very plainly. 03:06 And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, 03:10 saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art 03:16 become the people of the Lord thy God. 03:19 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the Lord thy God, 03:22 and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command 03:25 thee this day. 03:26 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying, These shall 03:32 stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are 03:36 come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, 03:41 and Joseph, and Benjamin: and these shall stand upon mount 03:45 Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, 03:51 and Naphtali. 03:52 And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of 03:55 Israel with a loud voice, Cursed be the man that maketh 03:58 any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the Lord, 04:02 the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a 04:05 secret place. 04:06 And all the people shall answer and say, Amen. 04:09 Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. 04:14 And all the people shall say, Amen. 04:18 Cursed be he that removeth his neighbor's landmark. 04:22 And all the people shall say, Amen. 04:24 Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. 04:29 And all the people shall say, Amen. 04:32 Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, 04:36 fatherless, and widow. 04:38 And all the people shall say, Amen. 04:40 Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he 04:46 uncovereth his father's skirt. 04:48 And all the people shall say, Amen. 04:50 Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. 04:54 And all the people shall say, Amen. 04:56 Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his 04:58 father, or the daughter of his mother. 05:00 And all the people shall say, Amen. 05:02 Cursed be he that lieth with his mother-in-law. 05:05 And all the people shall say, Amen. 05:08 Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbor secretly. 05:12 And all the people shall say, Amen. 05:14 Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. 05:19 And all the people shall say, Amen. 05:22 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words 05:25 of this law to do them. 05:26 And all the people shall say, Amen. 05:28 Continuing in Deuteronomy, chapter 28, and this is the 05:32 King James Version. 05:33 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently 05:38 unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do 05:41 all his commandments which I command thee this day, 05:44 that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations 05:49 of the earth: and all these blessings shall come on thee, 05:52 and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the 05:54 voice of the Lord thy God. 05:55 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou 05:58 be in the field. 05:59 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy 06:02 ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy 06:04 kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 06:06 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. 06:09 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt 06:13 thou be when thou goest out. 06:15 The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against 06:18 thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out 06:21 against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. 06:25 The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy 06:27 storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; 06:31 and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God 06:35 giveth thee. 06:36 The Lord shall establish thee a holy people unto himself, 06:40 as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments 06:44 of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways. 06:47 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called 06:51 by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee. 06:54 And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit 06:57 of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of 07:00 thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers 07:03 to give thee. 07:05 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to 07:09 give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the 07:13 work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, 07:16 and thou shalt not borrow. 07:18 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou 07:22 shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that 07:26 thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy 07:29 God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: 07:33 and thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command 07:37 thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, 07:39 to go after other gods to serve them. 07:41 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the 07:46 voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his 07:49 commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; 07:52 that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: 07:58 cursed shalt thou be in the city, 08:00 and cursed shalt thou be in the field. 08:02 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. 08:06 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, 08:09 the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 08:12 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou 08:16 be when thou goest out. 08:19 The Lord shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, 08:24 in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou 08:28 be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the 08:32 wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me. 08:35 The Lord shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, 08:38 until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest 08:43 to possess it. 08:44 The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, 08:47 and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, 08:50 and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; 08:52 and they shall pursue thee until thou perish. 08:55 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, 08:59 and the earth that is under thee shall be iron. 09:02 The Lord shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: 09:05 from heaven shall it come down upon thee, 09:08 until thou be destroyed. 09:10 The Lord shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: 09:14 thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven 09:17 ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms 09:21 of the earth. 09:22 And thy carcass shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, 09:24 and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall 09:27 fray them away. 09:28 The Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the 09:32 hemorrhoids, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou 09:35 canst not be healed. 09:36 The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, 09:40 and astonishment of heart: and thou shalt grope at noonday, 09:45 as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not 09:47 prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed 09:51 and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. 09:55 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: 09:59 thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: 10:02 thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the 10:05 grapes thereof. 10:06 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not 10:09 eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before 10:14 thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep 10:17 shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have 10:20 none to rescue them. 10:21 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, 10:25 and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them 10:29 all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand. 10:32 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation 10:36 which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed 10:39 and crushed always: so that thou shalt be mad for the sight 10:44 of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 10:45 The Lord shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, 10:49 with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy 10:52 foot unto the top of thy head. 10:53 The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set 10:56 over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers 10:59 have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, 11:02 wood and stone. 11:04 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, 11:07 and a byword, among all nations whither the Lord 11:10 shall lead thee. 11:11 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, 11:14 and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it. 11:17 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither 11:21 drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms 11:24 shall eat them. 11:25 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, 11:28 but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; 11:31 for thine olive shall cast his fruit. 11:33 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not 11:36 enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity. 11:39 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume. 11:44 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very 11:48 high; and thou shalt come down very low. 11:51 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: 11:54 he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. 11:58 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue 12:02 thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; 12:05 because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the Lord thy 12:08 God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he 12:11 commanded thee: and they shall be upon thee for a sign and for 12:15 a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever. 12:17 Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, 12:19 and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; 12:22 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies, which the Lord shall 12:26 send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, 12:30 and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon 12:34 thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. 12:37 The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, 12:40 from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; 12:43 a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; a nation 12:47 of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of 12:50 the old, nor show favor to the young: and he shall eat the 12:53 fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be 12:56 destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, 13:00 or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, 13:04 until he have destroyed thee. 13:06 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and 13:10 fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all 13:14 thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout 13:16 all thy land, which the Lord thy God hath given thee. 13:19 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy 13:22 sons and of thy daughters, which the Lord thy God hath 13:24 given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine 13:27 enemies shall distress thee: so that the man that is tender 13:30 among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his 13:33 brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the 13:35 remnant of his children which he shall leave: so that he will 13:38 not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he 13:41 shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, 13:44 and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress 13:47 thee in all thy gates. 13:48 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not 13:51 adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for 13:54 delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the 13:57 husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her 14:00 daughter, and toward her young one that cometh out from between 14:03 her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: 14:05 for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the 14:08 siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee 14:11 in thy gates. 14:13 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that 14:16 are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious 14:20 and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; then the Lord will make thy 14:25 plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great 14:27 plagues, and of long continuance, and sore 14:30 sicknesses, and of long continuance. 14:33 Goodbye until next time. |
