Summary

Fr. Mike kicks off our reading of the book of Numbers by explaining where Israel is at in their journey with the Lord, and how they are keeping him at the center of it all (literally). Today we read from Numbers 1, Deuteronomy 1, and Psalm 84.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast,
0:07.7	where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture.
0:11.7	The Bible In A year podcast is brought to you by Ascension.
0:14.9	Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation,
0:19.6	discovering how the story of salvation
0:21.0	unfolds and how we fit into that story today.
0:24.4	It is Day 52.
0:26.7	We have just left Egypt and the Exodus, and we're entering into the period of the desert
0:31.9	wanderings.
0:32.6	This is kind of a big step, and actually, today is going to be a little bit, well, I've got some good news for you

0:42.6	that I'm using is the revised standard version, second Catholic edition. I'm using the Red Adventure
0:46.9	Bible from Ascension. One of the things that gets asked a lot, and you probably have figured
0:51.5	this out already on day 52, is that you don't need to be following
0:54.9	the exact Bible translation that I'm reading from. In fact, sometimes what I'll do is I'll read
0:59.9	multiple translations, not out loud here on the recording, but multiple translations at times
1:07.1	can give me a different layered understanding of what's being said. So if you have a new
1:12.4	American Bible, if you have a new Jerusalem Bible, if you have one of the other English standard
1:17.2	version, those are all pretty good translations. Again, you can use whatever. Jeff has always said
1:22.4	that the Bible translation that is best to use is the one that you will use. And so that's what we got going for us.
1:28.9	So that's nice.
1:29.8	But I'm using the revised standard version, second Catholic edition.
