M’Cheyne Bible Reading Plan

3 “Next we turned and went up the way to the Bashan. King Og of the Bashan came out against us—he and all his people—for battle at Edrei. ² But Adonai said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have handed him over and all his people and his land. You will do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.’

³ “So Adonai our God also handed over King Og of the Bashan and all his people, and we struck him down until no survivor was left. ⁴ We captured all his cities at that time—there was not a town that we did not take from them—sixty cities, the whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in the Bashan. ⁵ All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates and bars, in addition to a great many unwalled towns. ⁶ We utterly destroyed them, just as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every city—men, women and children. ⁷ But all the livestock and the spoils of the cities we took as plunder for ourselves.

⁸ “So at that time we took from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land across the Jordan, from the Wadi Arnon to Mount Hermon. ⁹ (Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir.) ¹⁰ We took all the cities of the plain and all the Gilead and all the Bashan, as far as Salcah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in the Bashan. ¹¹ (For only King Og of the Bashan survived from the remnant of the Rephaim. In fact, his bed was made of iron—is it not in Rabbah of the Ammonites? Nine cubits was its length and four cubits its width, according to the cubit of a man.)

Possession East of Jordan

¹² “This land we took in possession at that time—from Aroer by the Wadi Arnon and half the hill country of the Gilead and its cities—I gave to the Reubenites and Gadites. ¹³ The rest of the Gilead and all of the Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh—all the region of the Argob. (All the Bashan is called the land of Rephaim. ¹⁴ Jair son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites. He called them—the Bashan—after his own name, Havvoth-jair’s Villages, as it is the case to this day.)

¹⁵ “To Machir I gave the Gilead. ¹⁶ To the Reubenite and Gadites I gave from the Gilead as far as the Wadi Arnon—the middle of the wadi as the border—and as far as Jabbok, the wadi that is the border of the sons of Ammon, ¹⁷ and the Arabah, with the Jordan as the border from Kinneret as far as the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward.

¹⁸ “I commanded you at that time, saying, ‘Adonai your God has given you this land to possess it. Ready for battle, you will cross over ahead of your brothers Bnei-Yisrael—all the men of valor. ¹⁹ Only your wives and your little ones and your livestock (I know that you have much livestock) may stay in your cities that I have given you, ²⁰ until Adonai gives rest to your brothers as He has for you, and they also possess the land that Adonai your God is giving them across the Jordan. Then you may return, each man to his possession that I have given you.’

²¹ “I commanded Joshua at that time saying, ‘Your eyes have seen all that Adonai your God has done to these two kings. Adonai will do the same to all the kingdoms you are about to cross into. ²² You must not fear them, for it is Adonai your God who fights for you.’

Moses Pleads to Enter

²³ “I pleaded with Adonai at that time, saying, ²⁴ ‘O Lord Adonai, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your strong hand—for what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do deeds and mighty acts like Yours? ²⁵ Please! Let me cross over and see the good land across the Jordan—that good hill country and the Lebanon.’

²⁶ “But Adonai was angry with me because of you, so He would not listen to me. ‘Enough!’ Adonai said to me, ‘Do not speak to Me anymore about this matter. ²⁷ Go up to the top of Pisgah, look around to the west and the north and the south and the east, and see with your eyes—for you will not cross over this Jordan. ²⁸ But commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he will cross over before this people, and he will enable them to inherit the land that you will see.’ ²⁹ So we stayed in the valley opposite Beth-peor.

Restore Your People from Captivity

Psalm 85

Egypt’s Horses Will Stumble

A Lion Protects Zion

⁶ Return to the One from whom rebellion is so deep, Bnei-Yisrael.

⁷ For in that day everyone will cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which you made for yourselves with your hands of sin.

Yeshua’s Revelation to John

1 The revelation of Yeshua the Messiah, which God gave Him to show to His servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, ² who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Yeshua the Messiah—to everything he saw. ³ How fortunate is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and those who hear and keep what has been written in it—for the time is near.

⁴ John,

To Messiah’s seven communities in Asia:^[a]

Grace to you and shalom from Him who is and who was and who is to come, as well as from the seven spirits who are before His throne, ⁵ and from Messiah Yeshua, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood ⁶ and made us a kingdom, kohanim to His God and Father—to Him be glory and power forever! Amen!

⁸ “I am the Alpha and the Omega,”^[d] says Adonai Elohim, “Who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty!”

⁹ I, John, your brother and fellow partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and patient endurance that are in Yeshua, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Yeshua. ¹⁰ I was in the Ruach on the Day of the Lord,^[e] and I heard behind me a loud voice like that of a trumpet, ¹¹ saying, “Write what you see in a scroll,^[f] and send it to Messiah’s seven communities—to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”

Vision of the Glorious Son of Man

¹² Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned, I saw seven golden menorot. ^{[g] 13} In the midst of the menorot, I saw One like a Son of Man, clothed in a robe down to His feet, with a golden belt wrapped around His chest. ^{[h] 14} His head and His hair were white like wool, white like snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire. ^{[i] 15} His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace,^[j] and His voice was like the roar of rushing waters. ^{[k] 16} In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came forth a sharp, two-edged sword.^[l] His face was like the sun shining at full strength.^[m]

¹⁷ When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man.^[n] But He placed His right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid! I am the First and the Last, ^{[o] 18} and the One who lives. I was dead, but look—I am alive forever and ever! Moreover, I hold the keys of death and Sheol. ^{[p] 19} Therefore write down what you have seen, what is, and what will happen after these things. ²⁰ As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden menorot—the seven stars are the angels of Messiah’s seven communities, and the seven menorahs are the seven communities.”
