He warns them down in verse 23, and this is one of those statements in the Bible that transcends the setting in which it is made, he warns them that if they will not cross over the Jordan and fight with their brothers, he says, behold, you have sinned against Yahweh, and be sure your sin will find you out.

passages at some point in our lives and have a lot more to say. Amen. We're going to go through

the whole Bible again. Yeah. And the length of our episodes is kind of dictated by, you know,

just how densely packed the passages are. So, you know, when we get to Deuteronomy and Joshua,
