Reading
Deuteronomy 2:1–37
1“Then
we turned and journeyed into the wilderness in the direction of the
Red Sea, as the Lord told me. And for many days we traveled around
Mount Seir. 2Then the Lord said to me, 3‘You
have been traveling around this mountain country long enough. Turn
northward 4and command the people, “You are about to
pass through the territory of your brothers, the people of Esau, who
live in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. So be very careful. 5Do
not contend with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no,
not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have
given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession. 6You shall
purchase food from them for money, that you may eat, and you shall
also buy water of them for money, that you may drink. 7For
the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He
knows your going through this great wilderness. These forty years the
Lord your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing.”’ 8So
we went on, away from our brothers, the people of Esau, who live in
Seir, away from the Arabah road from Elath and Ezion-geber.
“And
we turned and went in the direction of the wilderness of Moab. 9And
the Lord said to me, ‘Do not harass Moab or contend with them in
battle, for I will not give you any of their land for a possession,
because I have given Ar to the people of Lot for a possession.’
10(The Emim formerly lived there, a people great and many,
and tall as the Anakim. 11Like the Anakim they are also
counted as Rephaim, but the Moabites call them Emim. 12The
Horites also lived in Seir formerly, but the people of Esau
dispossessed them and destroyed them from before them and settled in
their place, as Israel did to the land of their possession, which the
Lord gave to them.) 13‘Now rise up and go over the brook
Zered.’ So we went over the brook Zered. 14And the time
from our leaving Kadesh-barnea until we crossed the brook Zered was
thirty-eight years, until the entire generation, that is, the men of
war, had perished from the camp, as the Lord had sworn to them. 15For
indeed the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from
the camp, until they had perished.
16“So
as soon as all the men of war had perished and were dead from among
the people, 17the Lord said to me, 18‘Today
you are to cross the border of Moab at Ar. 19And when you
approach the territory of the people of Ammon, do not harass them or
contend with them, for I will not give you any of the land of the
people of Ammon as a possession, because I have given it to the sons
of Lot for a possession.’ 20(It is also counted as a
land of Rephaim. Rephaim formerly lived there—but the Ammonites
call them Zamzummim— 21a people great and many, and tall
as the Anakim; but the Lord destroyed them before the Ammonites, and
they dispossessed them and settled in their place, 22as he
did for the people of Esau, who live in Seir, when he destroyed the
Horites before them and they dispossessed them and settled in their
place even to this day. 23As for the Avvim, who lived in
villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came from Caphtor,
destroyed them and settled in their place.) 24‘Rise up,
set out on your journey and go over the Valley of the Arnon. Behold,
I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and
his land. Begin to take possession, and contend with him in battle.
25This day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you
on the peoples who are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the
report of you and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you.’
26“So
I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon the king
of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying, 27‘Let me pass
through your land. I will go only by the road; I will turn aside
neither to the right nor to the left. 28You shall sell me
food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I
may drink. Only let me pass through on foot, 29as the sons
of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for me,
until I go over the Jordan into the land that the Lord our God is
giving to us.’ 30But Sihon the king of Heshbon would not
let us pass by him, for the Lord your God hardened his spirit and
made his heart obstinate, that he might give him into your hand, as
he is this day. 31And the Lord said to me, ‘Behold, I
have begun to give Sihon and his land over to you. Begin to take
possession, that you may occupy his land.’ 32Then Sihon
came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz. 33And
the Lord our God gave him over to us, and we defeated him and his
sons and all his people. 34And we captured all his cities
at that time and devoted to destruction every city, men, women, and
children. We left no survivors. 35Only the livestock we
took as spoil for ourselves, with the plunder of the cities that we
captured. 36From Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley
of the Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, as far as
Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. The Lord our God gave
all into our hands. 37Only to the land of the sons of
Ammon you did not draw near, that is, to all the banks of the river
Jabbok and the cities of the hill country, whatever the Lord our God
had forbidden us.

Almighty
God, our heavenly Father, Your mercies are new unto us every morning,
and though we have not deserved Your goodness, You abundantly provide
for all our wants of body and soul. Grant us Your Holy Spirit that we
may heartily acknowledge Your merciful goodness towards us, give
thanks for all Your benefits, and serve You in willing obedience;
through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Apostles'
Creed
C I
believe in God, the Father Almighty,
maker
of heaven and earth.
And
in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who
was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born
of the virgin Mary,
suffered
under Pontius Pilate,
was
crucified, died and was buried.
He
descended into hell.
The
third day He rose again from the dead.
He
ascended into heaven
and
sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From
thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I
believe in the Holy Spirit,
the
holy Christian Church,
the
communion of saints,
the
forgiveness of sins,
the
resurrection of the body,
and
the life T everlasting.
