0:00.0	Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast,
0:07.8	where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a
0:12.0	year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way
0:16.8	from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit
0:21.3	into that story today. It is day 85, and we're reading today from Joshua chapter 12, 13, and 14.
0:27.5	We're also praying Psalm 1229. As always, I am reading from the revised standard version, the second
0:32.9	Catholic edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension, which is just such a gift, especially
0:37.8	when we're in the midst of the period of conquest and judges. It gives some backstory, gives
0:41.6	a great summary, you know, at the beginning of every one of these time periods and kind of

1:19.8	pretty much every day as you would expect daily episodes to be put out. So once again,
1:25.0	it's day 85. We're reading from Joshua chapter 12, 13, and 14.
1:28.4	We'll also be praying Psalm 12. The book of Joshua chapter 12, the kings conquered by Moses.
1:36.4	Now these are the kings of the land whom the sons of Israel defeated and took possession of
1:40.4	their land beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising from the valley of Arnon to Mont Hermon,
1:45.4	with all the Araba eastward.
1:47.8	Cihon, king of the Amirites, who dwelt at Hesbun, and ruled from Arowar, which is on the edge of
