Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible recap.

Today Moses continues revisiting the history of the Israelites to the younger generation,

making sure they remember where they came from.

He's giving cliffs notes of things we've read about at length.

Yesterday, he mostly touched on things this generation hadn't personally experienced,

but today he's touching on more recent history, stuff they've lived through.

Since it's not our first trip through these stories, try to look for something new about

God's character than what you learned the first time we read them.

Moses begins by recounting their victories over King Aghubation and King Sihon of the

Amorites.

The cities of Beishin were fortified with high walls, gates and bars, but God granted them

victory.

God is bigger than what keeps us from what He has called us to.

And here we also learn that King Agh was a refiate, a giant, perhaps of demonic origin,

and Israel defeated him.

He had a bed that was 13 and a half feet long and six feet wide, and it was made of iron

because apparently that was the only thing strong enough to hold him up.

If this guy was as tall as his bed was long, he would dwarf Shikiloneal.

He would be almost twice his height.

That's bonkers.

After Israel defeated King's Agh and Sihon, they acquired the Transjordan land that God

gave to the 2.5 tribes, Ruben, Gad and the Half Tribe of Manasseh.
