639 - Kings were Defeated, East and West of the Jordan

Kings were Defeated, East and West of the Jordan

These are the kings, east of the Jordan River, who had been killed, by the Israelites …and whose land was taken. 

Their territory extended, from the Arnon Gorge, to Mount Hermon …and included all the land, east of the Jordan Valley. 

King Sihon of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, was defeated. 

His kingdom included Aroer, on the edge of the Arnon Gorge, and extended from the middle of the Arnon Gorge to the Jabbok River, which serves as a border, for the Ammonites. 

This territory included the southern half, of the territory of Gilead. 

Sihon also controlled the Jordan Valley, and regions to the east—from as far north as the Sea of Galilee, to as far south as the Dead Sea, including the road to Beth-jeshimoth, and southward, to the slopes of Pisgah. 

King Og, of Bashan, the last of the Rephaites, lived at Ashtaroth and Edrei. He ruled a territory stretching from Mount Hermon to Salecah, in the north …and to all of Bashan, in the east, …and westward, to the borders of the kingdoms of Geshur and Maacah. 

This territory included the northern half of Gilead, as far as the boundary of King Sihon, of Heshbon. 

Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the Israelites had destroyed the peoples of (both) King Sihon and King Og. 

And Moses gave their land, as a possession, to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. 

Now, the following …is a list of the kings that Joshua and the Israelite armies defeated, on the west side of the Jordan, …from Baal-gad, in the valley of Lebanon, to Mount Halak, which leads up to Seir. 

Joshua gave this land, to the tribes of Israel, as their possession, including the hill country, the western foothills, the Jordan Valley, the mountain slopes, the Judean wilderness, and the Negev. 

The people, who lived in this region, were the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

These are the kings Israel defeated: 

The king of Jericho, 

The king of Ai, near Bethel,

The king of Jerusalem, 

The king of Hebron,

The king of Jarmuth, 

The king of Lachish,

The king of Eglon,

The king of Gezer,

The king of Debir,

The king of Geder, 

The king of Hormah, 

The king of Arad,

The king of Libnah, 

The king of Adullam, 

The king of Makkedah, 

The king of Bethel,

The king of Tappuah, 

The king of Hepher,

The king of Aphek,

The king of Lasharon, 

The king of Madon,

The king of Hazor,

The king of Shimron-meron, 

The king of Acshaph,

The king of Taanach,

The king of Megiddo, 

The king of Kedesh,

The king of Jokneam in Carmel, 

The king of Dor in the town of Naphoth-dor,

The king of Goyim in Gilgal,

The king of Tirzah. 

In all, thirty-one kings were defeated. 

Joshua 12:1–24 (NLT)

Praise be to God!

Moses Chooses Seventy Leaders

​ Moses Chooses Seventy Leaders The Lord said to Moses,  “Gather before Me …seventy men, who are recognized, as elders and leaders of Israel.  Bring them to the Tabernacle, to stand there with you.  I will come down and talk to you there.  I will take some of the Spirit …that is upon you, and I will put this Spirit, upon them.  They will bear the burden, of the people, along with you, so you will not have to carry it alone.  “And say to the people,  ‘Purify yourselves, for tomorrow you will have meat to eat.  You were whining, and the Lord heard you when you cried…  “Oh, for some meat!  We were better off in Egypt!”  Now the Lord will give you meat, and you will have to eat it.  And it won’t be for just a day …or two, or for five, or ten, or even twenty.  You will eat it for a whole month until you gag and are sick of it.  For you have rejected the Lord, Who is here among you, and you have whined to Him, saying,  “Why did we ever leave Egypt?” ’ ”  But Moses responded to the Lord,  “Th

1046 - Israel Celebrates Passover

Israel Celebrates Passover When everything was ready for the Passover celebration, the priests and the Levites took their places, organized by their divisions, as the king had commanded.  The Levites then slaughtered the Passover lambs …and presented the blood to the priests, who sprinkled the blood on the altar, while the Levites prepared the animals.  They divided the burnt offerings, among the people, by their family groups, so they could offer them to the Lord, as prescribed, in the Book of Moses.  They did the same with the cattle.  Then, they roasted the Passover lambs, as prescribed; and they boiled the holy offerings… in pots, kettles, and pans, …and they brought them out quickly, so the people could eat them.  Afterward, the Levites prepared Passover offerings, for themselves and for the priests—the descendants of Aaron—because the priests had been busy, from morning till night, offering the burnt offerings, and the fat portions.  The Levites took responsibility for all these
