0:00.0	Welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace. The Bible tells one big story of redemption,
0:09.1	and we want to spend five minutes every day journeying through the Bible from start to
0:14.3	finish and exploring how all of it points to Jesus.
0:19.6	What's up everybody? Welcome back to another episode of a year in the Bible podcast with
0:27.5	the Daily Grace Company. My name is Kyra and I'm a writer on staff. I'm so happy to be here with you all today.
0:34.4	We're going to move right along into Deuteronomy chapter 25 to 27. This section echoes the theme of
0:42.7	covenant. A covenant is a binding promise made for the well-being of another. Covenant is illustrated
0:50.4	through the laws on widows and marriage. When a man died, his brother had to marry the man's wife.

1:53.8	To remember the covenant and keep it near them, Moses told the people to write the Lord's words
1:59.6	on large stones and plaster them after they crossed the Jordan River. To plaster meant to wash and
2:08.2	cover the stones in a substance which made the inscribed words legible and prevented their fading.
2:16.2	It was a common practice of the time for publishing a formal speech or document. On the other side of
2:23.1	the Jordan River, they would finally be in the Promised Land with a written sign of their identity
2:29.7	as God's people. Their God called them to celebrate with a feast. The public declaration of loyalty
2:37.2	and the concluding feast in these sections remind me of a wedding ceremony and weddings the bride
