It's day 83 of Heartdive 365. I'm your Bible study friend Kenoy. Welcome to the Heart Dive

podcast. Welcome back, friends. Thank you very much for dealing with the rough edit yesterday.

I know that some people were like, what is going on here? But it was either

get out the rough draft or have no video at all, and then we'd be behind two days. And so my hands are

back. My pen is back if my camera is willing to cooperate. I just filmed this entire day about two

hours ago. And my audio was then corrupt. So here we are filming it all over again.

So it would have been out earlier, but what can you do? Technology is technology and we're just

going with it. Lord, give us grace and give us strength because I still have to study for today's

video and record that one. Otherwise, if you could please help us out and you're saying, you know what, Kenoy, we're giving you grace. We're going to hit that like button for you, let you know that we're still here with you. We're supporting and we want to get into God's word anyway because that's what we're here for. It's not about the technology. Also, make sure you're subscribed to the channel. You got that notification bell on. And if you're new here,

welcome. Let us know where you are in the world, how you found this Bible study. Make sure to check out the description box or the show notes. Or you can always head to our website, heartdive.org for all the information that you need. We'll be reading from the ESV by Crossway Translation today. and we are in Joshua, chapters 5 through 8.

I keep writing and saying Deuteronomy,

so if I have said Deuteronomy at some point while we're in Joshua, I apologize. I don't

know what's going on. So we left off yesterday with them finally crossing over the Jordan, and now

they're going to have their first conquest of Canaan or of the promised lamb.

But before we begin, let's go ahead and pray. Heavenly Father, oh, how we need you. We need your presence to be here with us. We need you to be here among our technology. But really, we just want to be able to experience your presence, have an encounter with you, because we just love you so much. And so I pray today as we open up your word that you will allow our eyes, our ears, our hearts to be open to be able to hear the exact words that you want to speak to us. We know that we are here right on time. Lord, you've brought us to this very video, this very day, this very reading, and you already knew that we would be here long before this day even came. Thank you for your faithfulness. Please forgive us of our sins. Lord, and I ask that you help us to forgive others as well. We want to be free today. And we know that we're the Spirit of the Lord is. There is freedom. Therefore, we are free. We are declaring that today. I pray that in opening up this word, it will be that daily manna for us. We know that it will never cease as long as we are showing up and being faithful. So thank you for this time. We love you so much in Jesus' name. Amen. So we're starting off here in chapter 5. As soon as all the kings of the Amarites who were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan for the people of Israel until they'd crossed

over.

Their hearts melted, and there was no longer any spirit in them because of the people of Israel.

Why are they scarred?

It's because they know that God's judgment is on the way to them.

At that time, the Lord said to Joshua, make flint knives and

circumcise the sons of Israel a second time. So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the sons of

Israel at Gibbyath Heirailoth. And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them. All the males of the
