Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Deuteronomy chapter two. Then we turned and took our journey
into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea,
as the Lord spake unto me. And we compassed Mountsier
many days. And the Lord spake unto me, saying, ye
have compassed this mountain long enough. Turn you northward and

(00:23):
command thou the people, saying, ye are to pass through
the coast of your brethren, the children of Esau, which
dwell and seir, and they shall be afraid of you.
Take ye good heed unto yourselves. Therefore, meddle not with them,
for I will not give you of their land, no,
not so much as a foot breadth, Because I have

(00:43):
given mountsir unto Esau for a possession. Ye shall buy
meat of them for money that ye may eat. And
ye shall also buy water of them for money that
ye may drink. For the Lord, thy God hath blessed
Thee in all the works that thy hand to thy.
Walking through this great wilderness these forty years, the Lord

(01:04):
thy God hath been with Thee. Thou hast lacked nothing.
And when we passed by from our brethren, the children
of Esau, which dwelt in Sir, through the way of
the plane from Elath, and from Easy and Gaber. We
turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab,
and the Lord said unto me, distress not the Moabites,

(01:24):
neither contend with them in battle, for I will not
give thee of their land for a possession, because I
have given r unto the children of Lot for a possession.
The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great
in many and tall as Anakims, which also were accounted
giants as the Anakims, but the Moabites call them Emims.

(01:47):
The Horems also dwelt in sir before time, but the
children of Esau succeeded them when they had destroyed them
from before them, and dwelt in their stead as Israel
did under the land of his possession, which the Lord
give unto them. Now rise up, said I, and get
you over the brook Zied. And we went over the
brook Zied and the space in which we came from

(02:11):
katysh Barnea. Until we were come over the brook Zied
was thirty and eight years, until all the generation of
the men of war were wasted out from among the hosts.
As the lords swear unto them for indeed the hand
of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from
among the host, until they were consumed. So it came

(02:31):
to pass, when all the men of war were consumed
and dead from among the people, that the Lord spake
unto me, saying, thou art to pass over through our
the coast of Moab this day, And when thou comest
deny over against the children of Amen, distress them not,
nor meddle with them. For I will not give thee
of the land of the children of Amen any possession,

(02:54):
because I have given it unto the children of Lot,
for a possession that also was a count. The land
of Gants. Giants dwelt therein in old time, and the
Ammonites call them Zamzumims, a people great and many and
tall as the Anakins. But the Lord destroyed them before them,
and they succeeded them and dwelt in their stead, as

(03:16):
he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Sir,
when he destroyed the Horims from before them, and they
succeeded them and dwelt in their stead even unto this day.
And the Avims, which dwelt in Haziram, even unto Azah.
The Captorums which came forth out of Captor destroyed them
and dwelt in their stead. Rising up, take your journey

(03:39):
and pass over the river Arnon. Behold, I have given
into thine hand Sihon, the Amorite King of Heshbon, and
his land. Begin to possess it and contend with him
in battle. This day will I begin to put the
dread of THEE and the fear of THEE upon the
nations that are under the whole heaven. Who shall hear
report of THEE shall tremble and be in anguish because

(04:03):
of THEE. And I send messengers out of the wilderness
of kidamos unto Sihon, King of Hespon, with words of peace, saying,
let me pass through thy land. I will go along
by the highway. I will neither turn unto the right
hand nor to the left. Thou shalt sell me meet
for money that I may eat, and give me water

(04:24):
for money that I may drink. Only I will pass
through on my feet as the turlen of esoul, which
dwell and sear, and the moreby to dwell in our
did unto me, until I shall pass over Jordan into
the land which the Lord our God giveth us. But Sihon,
king of Hespan, would not let us pass by him.

(04:45):
For the Lord thy God hardened his spirit and made
his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into Thy
hand as appearth this day. And the Lord said, unto me, behold,
I have begun to give Sihan and his land before
thee begin to possess, that thou mayst inherit his land.
Then Saihon came out against us, he and all his

(05:06):
people to fight at Jehez. And the Lord our God
delivered him before us, and we smote him and his
sons and all his people. And we took all his
cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men and
the women and the little ones of every city. We
left none to remain, only the cattle we took for
a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities,

(05:28):
which we took from a roar which is by the
brink of the river of Arnan, and from the city
that is by the river. Even unto Gilead, there was
not one city too strong for us. The Lord our
God delivered all unto us, only unto the land of
the children of Amon. Thou camest not nor unto any
place of the river Jebek, nor unto the cities in

(05:50):
the mountains, nor unto whatsoever. The Lord, our God forbade
us
