Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast,

where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a

year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way

from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit

into that story today. It is day 85, and we're reading today from Joshua chapter 12, 13, and 14.

We're also praying Psalm 1229. As always, I am reading from the revised standard version, the second

Catholic edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension, which is just such a gift, especially

when we're in the midst of the period of conquest and judges. It gives some backstory, gives a great summary, you know, at the beginning of every one of these time periods and kind of gives us an orientation of here's where we are, here's where we're going. If you want to also know, here's where we are and here's what we're going, you can download your own Bible in a year reading plan by visiting ascensionpress.com slash bible in a year and you'll be able to

cross out those dates and those chapters. I do it every day. I have this blue marker that I just like mark off every day. And it's just such a great gift of being able to say, yeah, we're moving and we're still cruising along and going through the Bible and marking up our Bibles and writing down these things that, these insights that the Lord is giving to us. It's just such an incredible gift. You can also

subscribe in your podcast app to this podcast to receive the daily episodes, which are put out

pretty much every day as you would expect daily episodes to be put out. So once again,

it's day 85. We're reading from Joshua chapter 12, 13, and 14.

We'll also be praying Psalm 12. The book of Joshua chapter 12, the kings conquered by Moses.

Now these are the kings of the land whom the sons of Israel defeated and took possession of

their land beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising from the valley of Arnon to Mont Hermon, with all the Araba eastward. Cihon, king of the Amirites, who dwelt at Hesbun, and ruled from Arowar, which is on the edge of the valley of Arnaan, and from the middle of the valley as far as the river Jabok, the boundary of the Ammonites, that is, half of Gilead, and the Araba to the sea of Chinaroth eastward, and in the direction of Beth Jesimoth, to the sea of the Araba, the salt sea, southward to the foot of the slopes of Piscat, and Ag, king of Bashan, one of the remnant of the Raphim, who dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edriai, and ruled over Mount Hermon and Salachah, and all Bishan to the boundary of the Gesherites and the Ma'akathites, and over half of Gilead to the boundary of Sihon, king of Hesbun. Moses, the servant of the Lord and the sons of Israel, defeated them, and Moses the servant of the Lord, gave their land for a possession to

the Rubinites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh. The kings conquered by Joshua,

and these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the sons of Israel defeated on the west side of

the Jordan, from Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon to Mount Halak that rises towards Sayir,

and Joshua gave their land to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their allotments in the hill country, in the lowland, in the araba, in the slopes, in the wilderness, and in the Negev, the land of the Hittites, the Amarites, the Canaanites, the Parasites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
