Joshua 14:8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God. What a horrible truth to be said about someone. They melted the hearts of the people. They took out all the resolve. They dried up the courage. They melted their […]

Joshua 13:33 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto them. In this chapter God has been dividing up the land. All the tribes get wonderful land given to them. They will have a place to live, to raise their […]

Joshua 12:6 Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh. Moses fought the fight. The children of Israel went to war but it was God […]

Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. God has some secrets. That is things that He knows that He hasn’t decided to tell us yet. You […]

Deuteronomy 28:58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; 59 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long […]

Deuteronomy 27:26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen. God’s people were required to acknowledge the Word and Words of God. They had to say publicly that they knew it was God saying it and that they would accept it […]

Deuteronomy 22:3 In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother’s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself. If you find something that your brother has lost then give […]

Deuteronomy 21:21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. This passage is about a child that is rebellious, a drunkard, a glutton, and who refuses to listen or be trained. The […]

Deuteronomy 20:8 And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren’s heart faint as well as his heart. When Israel was going to go out to war they were to leave […]

Deuteronomy 19:18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother; 19 Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you. People like to […]

December 18:21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? God told His people how they could know if the messenger was sharing God’s Word. They were to see if what He said came true or not. If it didn’t come true then God […]

Deuteronomy 16:17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee. God told His people to give as they were able. He didn’t ask them to do something that wasn’t within their power. They were to also give according to the blessings […]

Deuteronomy 13:3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. God allowed men that would supposedly speak on His behalf to live among […]

Deuteronomy 5:33 Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess. These laws would accomplish two purposes. The major thing is that they […]

Deuteronomy 3:22 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you. As they prepare to enter the Promised Land Moses tells them not to be afraid. God has shown them how He destroyed two kings. He promises that He will do the same with the rest. God has saved […]

Numbers 36:13 These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

Those that had caused Israel to […]

Numbers 29:40 And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the LORD commanded Moses. It was God that prescribed the offerings that He wanted offered to Him in worship. It is God that has prescribed that Jesus be the only means of salvation. There is no way that we decide how to […]
