0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:10.8 | Today, Moses continues revisiting the history of the Israelites to the younger generation, making sure they remember where they came from. |
0:20.2 | He's giving Cliff's notes of |
0:21.5 | things we've read about at length. Yesterday, he mostly touched on things this generation hadn't |
0:26.7 | personally experienced, but today he's touching on more recent history, stuff they've lived |
0:31.3 | through. Since it's not our first trip through these stories, try to look for something new |
0:36.3 | about God's character than what you learned the first time we read them. Moses begins by recounting their victories over King |
0:42.6 | Og of Bacian and King Cajon of the Amarites. The cities of Bation were fortified with high walls, |
0:48.5 | gates, and bars, but God granted them victory. God is bigger than what keeps us from what he has called us to. |
0:55.9 | And here we also learn that King Og was a Reffiat, a giant, perhaps of demonic origin, and Israel |
1:02.0 | defeated him. He had a bed that was 13 and a half feet long and six feet wide, and it was made |
1:08.2 | of iron because apparently that was the only thing strong enough to hold |
1:11.4 | him up. If this guy was as tall as his bed was long, he would dwarf Shaquille O'Neal. He would be almost |
1:18.9 | twice his height. That's bonkers. After Israel defeated King's Og and Scyon, they acquired |
1:26.2 | the Transjordan land that God gave to the 2.5 tribes, |
1:29.5 | Rubin, Gad, and the half-trib of Manasseh. Remember how Moses repeatedly appealed to God to |
1:34.9 | retract punishment for the Israelites, and God did? Moses also appeals to God to |
1:40.3 | retract the punishment for striking the rock twice when God told him to speak to it. |
1:45.0 | But God doesn't. We don't know why, but it probably has something to do with the leaders being |
1:50.0 | held to a higher standard. We've also seen Moses reframing this incident in a way that paints himself |
1:56.0 | as innocent and passes the blame off on the people. We saw it yesterday in 127, and we see it again today in 326 and 421 when he says, |
2:05.9 | The Lord was angry with me because of you and would not listen to me. |
