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 of how this 11-day journey

took him 40 years.

At the end of Chapter 33 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, and all

the things they worship too. Tear down their altars 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 him, just drive them out.

God knows how easily the hearts of his people are let 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.

There are a few places used as markers in this layout that you may know of,

but probably not by the names used in the text.

So let's walk through them.
