Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible recap.

Today Moses kind of did my job for me, recapping our journey since the Exodus.

But don't worry, I always have plenty to say.

Let's talk about a few things of note from today's reading.

First, Moses recounts all the places they camped.

If you've ever had a doubt that Scripture was real, this list should help settle that

for you.

No author would make up these kind of details in hopes of good book sales, and no one

who was trying to sound impressive about his leadership skills would tell you every step

about this 11-day journey took him 40 years.

At the end of chapter 33, we hit some instructions from God.

He tells Moses to instruct the people about some very important business they need to attend

to when they cross the Jordan.

They need to drive out everyone who lives there, all of them, all, all of them, all of

them, and all the things they worship to, tear down their alters and their idols because

if they don't get rid of everything, some of it is going to come back to haunt them.

And on top of that, God will punish them too.

Double whammy.

This isn't necessarily a command to kill them, just drive them out.

God knows how easily the hearts of his people are led astray when temptation is near.

In chapter 34, God gives the boundaries of the promised land for the first time.

Up until now, we've only known of it generically as Canaan or the promised land.
