Mount Pisgah
Exodus 2:1-2
1 And there went a man of the house of Levi,
and took to wife a daughter of Levi. 2 And the
woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a
goodly child, she hid him three months.
Exodus 2:11-14
11 And it came to pass in those days, when
Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their
burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw
that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of
the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore
smitest thou thy fellow? 14 And he said, Who made thee a
prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the
Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
Exodus 3:2-6
2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him
in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the
bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3
And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the
bush is not burnt. 4 And when the LORD saw that he
turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and
said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 5 And
he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the
place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 6
Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid
to look upon God.
Exodus 3:10
10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee
unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel
out of Egypt.
Exodus 4:10-12
10 And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I
am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto
thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man�s mouth? or who
maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and
teach thee what thou shalt say.
Exodus 32:19-28
19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh
unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses� anger waxed
hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the
mount. 20 And he took the calf which they had made, and
burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it
upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that
thou hast brought so great a sin upon them? 22 And Aaron
said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they
are set on mischief. 23 For they said unto me,
Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man
that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
24 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let
them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the
fire, and there came out this calf. 25 And when Moses
saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto
their shame among their enemies:) 26 Then Moses
stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD�S side?
let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves
together unto him. 27 And he said unto them, Thus saith
the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in
and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother,
and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour. 28
And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell
of the people that day about three thousand men.
Numbers 20:7-13
7 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou,
and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it
shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of
the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded
him. 10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation
together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we
fetch you water out of this rock? 11 And Moses lifted up
his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out
abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
12 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed
me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye
shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
13 This is the water of Meribah; because the
children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
Numbers 20:24-29
24 Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for
he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of
Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.
25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount
Hor: 26 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them
upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and
shall die there. 27 And Moses did as the LORD commanded:
and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
28 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon
Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and
Eleazar came down from the mount. 29 And when all the
congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days,
even all the house of Israel.
Numbers 27:12-23
12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up
into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children
of Israel. 13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also
shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
14 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin,
in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their
eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
15 And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying, 16
Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the
congregation, 17 Which may go out before them, and which
may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them
in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the
son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all
the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight. 20
And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the
congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient. 21
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel
for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go
out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children
of Israel with him, even all the congregation. 22 And
Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before
Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation: 23
And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded
by the hand of Moses.
Deuteronomy 34:1-12
1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and
hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. 2 My doctrine
shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain
upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: 3
Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our
God. 4 He is the Rock, his work is
perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without
iniquity, just and right is he. 5 They have
corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his
children: they are a perverse and crooked generation. 6
Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he
thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and
established thee? 7 Remember the days of old, consider
the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy
elders, and they will tell thee. 8 When the most High
divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam,
he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of
Israel. 9 For the LORD�S portion is his people;
Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. 10 He found
him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about,
he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 11
As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth
abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12
So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god
with him.
Joshua 1:1-9
1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of
the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun,
Moses� minister, saying, 2 Moses my servant is dead; now
therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land
which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. 3
Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given
unto you, as I said unto Moses. 4 From the wilderness
and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land
of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun,
shall be your coast. 5 There shall not any man be able
to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so
I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 6
Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for
an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest
observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee:
turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou
mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 8 This book of
the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day
and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written
therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have
good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and
of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy
God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Deuteronomy 7:1-7
1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into
the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations
before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the
Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven
nations greater and mightier than thou; 2 And when the
LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and
utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy
unto them: 3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with
them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt
thou take unto thy son. 4 For they will turn away thy
son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of
the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. 5
But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break
down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images
with fire. 6 For thou art an holy people unto the
LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto
himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you,
because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest
of all people:
Joshua 5:10-15
10 And the children of Israel encamped in
Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in
the plains of Jericho. 11 And they did eat of the old
corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and
parched corn in the selfsame day. 12 And the
manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land;
neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the
fruit of the land of Canaan that year. 13 And it came to
pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and,
behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand:
and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for
our adversaries? 14 And he said, Nay; but as
captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to
the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his
servant? 15 And the captain of the LORD�S host said unto
Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest
is holy. And Joshua did so.
Joshua 6:18-21
18 And ye, in any wise keep yourselves
from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take
of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and
iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury
of the LORD. 20 So the people shouted when the
priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard
the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the
wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man
straight before him, and they took the city. 21 And they
utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young
and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
Joshua 6:24
24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all
that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of
brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
Joshua 7:1-26
1 But the children of Israel committed a
trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi,
the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the
anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel. 2
And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on
the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the
country. And the men went up and viewed Ai. 3 And they
returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let
about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all
the people to labour thither; for they are but few. 4
So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they
fled before the men of Ai. 5 And the men of Ai smote of
them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the
gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore
the hearts of the people melted, and became as water. 6
And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the
ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust
upon their heads. 7 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD,
wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into
the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and
dwelt on the other side Jordan! 8 O Lord, what shall I
say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies! 9
For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it,
and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt
thou do unto thy great name? 10 And the LORD said unto
Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? 11
Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I
commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also
stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own
stuff. 12 Therefore the children of Israel could not
stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their
enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more,
except ye destroy the accursed from among you. 13 Up,
sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus
saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst
of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take
away the accursed thing from among you. 14 In the
morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall
be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to the
families thereof; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come
by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by
man. 15 And it shall be, that he that is taken
with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath:
because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath
wrought folly in Israel. 16 So Joshua rose up early in
the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was
taken: 17 And he brought the family of Judah; and he
took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man
by man; and Zabdi was taken: 18 And he brought his
household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son
of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. 19 And
Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of
Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done;
hide it not from me. 20 And Achan answered
Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and
thus and thus have I done: 21 When I saw among the
spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a
wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them;
and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the
silver under it. 22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they
ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver
under it. 23 And they took them out of the midst of the
tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and
laid them out before the LORD. 24 And Joshua, and all
Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment,
and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his
asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them
unto the valley of Achor. 25 And Joshua said, Why hast
thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned
him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with
stones. 26 And they raised over him a great heap of
stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger.
Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this
day.
Joshua 8:1
1 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not,
neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go
up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and
his city, and his land:
Joshua 8:25-29
25 And so it was, that all that
fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even
all the men of Ai. 26 For Joshua drew not his hand back,
wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the
inhabitants of Ai. 27 Only the cattle and the spoil of
that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of
the LORD which he commanded Joshua. 28 And Joshua burnt
Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day.
29 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide:
and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his
carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the
city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth unto
this day.
Joshua 8:34-35
34 And afterward he read all the words of the
law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book
of the law. 35 There was not a word of all that Moses
commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with
the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among
them.
Joshua 10:6-14
6 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the
camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us
quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that
dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us. 7
So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and
all the mighty men of valour. 8 And the LORD said unto
Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall
not a man of them stand before thee. 9 Joshua therefore
came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.
10 And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with
a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to
Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
Joshua 10:40
40 So Joshua smote all the country of the
hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their
kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the
LORD God of Israel commanded.
Joshua 11:23
23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to
all that the LORD said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto
Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from
war.
Joshua 13:1
1 Now Joshua was old and stricken in
years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years,
and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.
Joshua 15:63
63 As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites
dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.
Joshua 16:9-10
9 And the separate cities for the children of
Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the
cities with their villages. 10 And they drave not out
the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the
Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.
Joshua 17:12-13
12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive
out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in
that land. 13 Yet it came to pass, when the children of
Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not
utterly drive them out.
Joshua 23:3
3 Ye have not left your brethren these many
days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD
your God.
Joshua 23:6-13
6 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away:
and they went unto their tents. 7 Now to the one
half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan: but
unto the other half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this
side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents,
then he blessed them, 8 And he spake unto them, saying,
Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with
silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much
raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren. 9
And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of
Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh,
which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to
the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the
word of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 10 And when they
came unto the borders of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the
children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh
built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to. 11
And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the
children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over
against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the passage of the
children of Israel. 12 And when the children of Israel
heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered
themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them. 13
And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the
children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead,
Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
Joshua 23:16
16 Thus saith the whole congregation of the
LORD, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of
Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded
you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?
Joshua 24:29-31
29 And it came to pass after these things, that
Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred
and ten years old. 30 And they buried him in the border
of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the
north side of the hill of Gaash. 31 And Israel served
the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived
Joshua, and which had known all the works of the LORD, that he had done for
Israel.
Judges 1:21
21 And the children of Benjamin did not drive
out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the
children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day.
Judges 1:27-33
Judges 2:1-3
1 And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal
to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you
unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break
my covenant with you. 2 And ye shall make no league with
the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have
not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this? 3 Wherefore
I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be
as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
Judges 2:10-14
10 And also all that generation were gathered
unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew
not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel. 11
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served
Baalim: 12 And they forsook the LORD God of their
fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods,
of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed
themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger. 13
And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth. 14
And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into
the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of
their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before
their enemies.
Judges 3:5-8
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the
Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and
gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods. 7
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the
LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves. 8
Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into
the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel
served Chushanrishathaim eight years.
Judges 3:12-14
12 And the children of Israel did evil again in
the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab
against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek,
and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees. 14
So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
Judges 8:26-27
26 And the weight of the golden earrings that
he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside
ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of
Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels� necks.
27 And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his
city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it:
which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.
Judges 8:33
33 And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was
dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after
Baalim, and made Baalberith their god.
Judges 10:6
6 And the children of Israel did evil again in
the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of
Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the
children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and
served not him.
Judges 10:10
10 And the children of Israel cried unto the
LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our
God, and also served Baalim.
Judges 10:13-16
13 Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other
gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more. 14 Go and
cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of
your tribulation. 15 And the children of Israel said
unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto
thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day. 16 And
they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his
soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
Judges 13:1
1 And the children of Israel did evil again in
the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the
Philistines forty years.
And of course they were delivered by Yahweh through Samson
later on. As you can see, we are a people that have been in captivity many
times throughout history, because of our disobedience to Yahweh, and only when
we repent can we be delivered from the evil that has befallen us.
We as a nation and as the chosen race of Yahweh; stand
today as did Moses 3,460 years ago on Mt. Pisgah. We are on the threshold
today, as Moses was. Will we be worthy enough to pass on into the Kingdom that
we can see afar off, or will be like Moses; through disobedience have to die
on this side, never being able to pass into that promised land? It is entirely
up to us to choose for ourselves as to where we wish to be. On this side with
the world or on the other side with Yahweh in the Kingdom. I hope you will
consider the above and do something about it.
HOME
27 Neither did Manasseh drive out the
inhabitants of Bethshean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the
inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns,
nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell
in that land. 28 And it came to pass, when Israel was
strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive
them out. 29 Neither did Ephraim drive out the
Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
30 Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of
Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them,
and became tributaries. 31 Neither did Asher drive out
the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of
Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob: 32
But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for
they did not drive them out. 33 Neither did Naphtali
drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh, nor the inhabitants of Bethanath;
but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless
the inhabitants of Bethshemesh and of Bethanath became tributaries unto them.
