Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Deuteronomy chapter nine. Here, O Israel, thou art to pass
over Jordan this day, to go into possess nations greater
and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
a people great and tall, the children of the Anakims,
whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say,

(00:23):
who can stand before the children of anak Understand therefore
this day that the Lord thy God is he which
goeth over before thee as a consuming fire. He shall
destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face.
So shalt thou drive them out and destroy them quickly,
As the Lord hath said unto THEE, speak not thou

(00:45):
in thine heart. After that, the Lord thy God hath
cast them out from before THEE, saying, for my righteousness,
the Lord hath brought me into possess this land. But
for the wickedness of these nations, the Lord doth drive
them out from before THEE. Not for thy righteousness or
for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to

(01:05):
possess their land. But for the wickedness of these nations.
The Lord thy God doth drive them out from before THEE.
And that he may perform the word which the Lord
swear unto thy fathers. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Understand therefore,
that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this good
land to possess it for thy righteousness. For thou art

(01:27):
as stiff necked people. Remember and forget not how thou
provokest the Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness.
From the day that thou didst depart out of the
land of Egypt, until he came unto this place, ye
have been rebellious against the Lord. Also in horror, ye
provoke the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was

(01:47):
angry with you to have destroyed you. When I was
gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone,
even the tables of the Covenant, was the Lord made
with you. Then I abode in the mount forty days
and forty knights. I neither did eat bread nor drink water.
And the Lord delivered unto me two tables of stone
written with the finger of God. And on them was

(02:10):
written according to all the words which the Lord spake
with you in the mount, out of the midst of
the fire, in the day of the Assembly. And it
came to pass at the end of forty days and
forty nights, that the Lord gave me the two tables
of stone, even the tables of the Covenant. And the
Lord said unto me, arise, get thee down quickly from hence,

(02:31):
for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt,
have corrupted themselves. They are quickly turned aside out of
the way which I commanded them. They have made them
a molten image. Furthermore, the Lord spake unto me, saying,
I have seen this people, and behold it is a
stiff necked people. Let me alone that I may destroy

(02:51):
them and brought out their name from under heaven, and
I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater
than they. So I turned and came down from the mount,
and the mount burned with fire, and the two tables
of the Covenant were in my two hands. And I looked,
and behold, ye had sinned against the Lord, your God,
and had made you a molten calf. Ye had turned

(03:14):
aside quickly out of the way which the Lord had
commanded you. And I took the two tables and cast
them out of my two hands, and break them before
your eyes, and I fell down before the Lord. As
at the first forty days and forty nights, I did
neither eat bread nor drink water because of all your sins,
which he sinned in doing wickedly in the sight of

(03:36):
the Lord, to provoke him to anger, For I was
afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the Lord
was wroth against you to destroy you. But the Lord
hearkened unto me at that time also, and the Lord
was very angry with Eron to have destroyed him. And
I prayed for erin also the same time, and I

(03:58):
took your sin the calf which she had made, and
burnt it with fire, and stamped it and ground it
very small, even until it was as small as dust.
And I cast the dust thereof into the brook that
descended out of the mound. And at Tabah, and at Massa,
and at Kibroth Hataeba, ye provoked the Lord to wrath. Likewise,

(04:21):
when the Lord sent you from Kadish Barnea, saying go
up and possess the land which I have given you,
then ye rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God.
And ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his boys,
Ye have been rebellious against the Lord from the day
that I knew you. Thus I fell down before the

(04:42):
Lord forty days and forty nights. As I fell down
at the first because the Lord had said he would
destroy you, I prayed therefore unto the Lord, and said, O, Lord, God,
destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast
redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out
of Egypt with a mighty hand. Remember, thy servants, Abraham,

(05:05):
Isaac and Jacob, look not under the stubbornness of this people,
nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin lest the land.
Whence thou broughtest us outsay, because the Lord was not
able to bring them into the land which he promised them,
and because he hated them, he hath brought them out
to slay them in the wilderness. Yet they are thy

(05:27):
people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy
mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.
