TAKE TIME: Reading Assignment for July 1-6, 2013

Introduction: The two different censuses have been completed now because one generation has passed off the scene and another one has taken their parents' place. Now Moses will deal at the end of Numbers with a few special circumstances concerning the inheritance of Canaan. After we finish reading this book we will begin the last one of Moses, Deuteronomy. The purpose of this last book of the Pentateuch was to instruct the second generation about the covenant between themselves and God. It begins with a review of some of the great things that God has done for the Israelites since they left Egypt.

Putting the Word into Action
The book of Deuteronomy begins as a book of review. We have now been reading together for 1/2 a year. (This is the 26th week.) This would be a good week to review some of the suggestions made in previous weeks and pick one to do!
