This week we finish up our reading of Numbers as we move onto the last section of the book which details the remainder of the Israelites' forty years of wandering on the plain of Moab before crossing the Jordan River.
Then we turn our attention to the book of Deuteronomy. This is the last of the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible thought to be authored by Moses. Its name literally means "things or words" and the book consists of three sermons or speeches delivered by Moses, a recounting of the law, as well as an account of Moses' death. One of its most significant verses is considered to be verse 6:4, which constitutes the "Shema", a definitive statement of Jewish identity: "Hear O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one."Here is the schedule:
08, Sunday: Numbers 12-15
09, Monday: Numbers 16-19
10, Tuesday: Numbers 20-23
11, Wednesday: Numbers 24-27
12, Thursday: Numbers 28-31
13, Friday: Numbers 32-35
14, Saturday: Numbers 36 - Deuteronomy 3
May God add His richest blessings to the reading, the hearing, and the living out of His Holy Word. Amen.
