Today is the 21st day of March.

Welcome to the Daily Ario Bible.

I'm Brian.

It's fantastic to be here with you today

as we gather and take another step forward.

Our steps forward these days are in the book of numbers and so that's where we are,

even though we've kind of turned a corner and we're getting ready to come in for a landing soon.

Today, Numbers chapter 32 verse 1 through 33

verse 39

now the Rubinites and the Gadites possessed a very large number of cattle.

When they saw that the lands of Jaser and Gilead were ideal for cattle, the Gadites and the

Rubinites came in addressed Moses, Elieza the priest, and the leaders of the community.

They said,

Adirald,

Tibbon, Jézor, Nimra, Hirschborn,

Eelia, Sibbaum, Nibo, and beyond. The land that the Lord subdued before the

community of Israel is ideal for cattle and your servants have cattle. So they said if we have found favor in

your sight let this land be given to your servants for our inheritance. Do not have

us cross the Jordan River. Moses said to the Gadites and

the Rubinites, must your brothers go to war while you remain here? Why do you frustrate the intent of the Israelites to cross over into the land that

the Lord has given them? Your fathers did the same thing when I sent them from Kedesh

Barnaya to see the land.
