Reading
Deuteronomy 3:1–29
1“Then
we turned and went up the way to Bashan. And Og the king of Bashan
came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei. 2But
the Lord said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have given him and all
his people and his land into your hand. And you shall do to him as
you did to Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.’
3So the Lord our God gave into our hand Og also, the king
of Bashan, and all his people, and we struck him down until he had no
survivor left. 4And we took all his cities at that
time—there was not a city that we did not take from them—sixty
cities, the whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5All
these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides
very many unwalled villages. 6And we devoted them to
destruction, as we did to Sihon the king of Heshbon, devoting to
destruction every city, men, women, and children. 7But all
the livestock and the spoil of the cities we took as our plunder. 8So
we took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the
Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the Valley of the Arnon to
Mount Hermon 9(the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, while the
Amorites call it Senir), 10all the cities of the tableland
and all Gilead and all Bashan, as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of
the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11(For only Og the king of
Bashan was left of the remnant of the Rephaim. Behold, his bed was a
bed of iron. Is it not in Rabbah of the Ammonites? Nine cubits was
its length, and four cubits its breadth, according to the common
cubit.)
12“When
we took possession of this land at that time, I gave to the
Reubenites and the Gadites the territory beginning at Aroer, which is
on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of
Gilead with its cities. 13The rest of Gilead, and all
Bashan, the kingdom of Og, that is, all the region of Argob, I gave
to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (All that portion of Bashan is called
the land of Rephaim. 14Jair the Manassite took all the
region of Argob, that is, Bashan, as far as the border of the
Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called the villages after his own
name, Havvoth-jair, as it is to this day.) 15To Machir I
gave Gilead, 16and to the Reubenites and the Gadites I
gave the territory from Gilead as far as the Valley of the Arnon,
with the middle of the valley as a border, as far over as the river
Jabbok, the border of the Ammonites; 17the Arabah also,
with the Jordan as the border, from Chinnereth as far as the Sea of
the Arabah, the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah on the east.
18“And
I commanded you at that time, saying, ‘The Lord your God has given
you this land to possess. All your men of valor shall cross over
armed before your brothers, the people of Israel. 19Only
your wives, your little ones, and your livestock (I know that you
have much livestock) shall remain in the cities that I have given
you, 20until the Lord gives rest to your brothers, as to
you, and they also occupy the land that the Lord your God gives them
beyond the Jordan. Then each of you may return to his possession
which I have given you.’ 21And I commanded Joshua at
that time, ‘Your eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done
to these two kings. So will the Lord do to all the kingdoms into
which you are crossing. 22You shall not fear them, for it
is the Lord your God who fights for you.’
23“And
I pleaded with the Lord at that time, saying, 24‘O Lord
God, you have only begun to show your servant your greatness and your
mighty hand. For what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do
such works and mighty acts as yours? 25Please let me go
over and see the good land beyond the Jordan, that good hill country
and Lebanon.’ 26But the Lord was angry with me because
of you and would not listen to me. And the Lord said to me, ‘Enough
from you; do not speak to me of this matter again. 27Go up
to the top of Pisgah and lift up your eyes westward and northward and
southward and eastward, and look at it with your eyes, for you shall
not go over this Jordan. 28But charge Joshua, and
encourage and strengthen him, for he shall go over at the head of
this people, and he shall put them in possession of the land that you
shall see.’ 29So we remained in the valley opposite
Beth-peor.

Jesus Christ, giver and perfecter of our faith, we thank and praise
You for continuing among us the preaching of Your Gospel for our
instruction and edification. Send Your blessing upon the Word, which
has been spoken to us, and by Your Holy Spirit increase our saving
knowledge of You, that day by day we may be strengthened in the
divine truth and remain steadfast in Your grace. Give us strength to
fight the good fight and by faith to overcome all the temptations of
Satan, the flesh, and the world so that we may finally receive the
salvation of our souls; for You live and reign with the Father and
the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Apostles'
Creed
C I

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

the
forgiveness of sins,
the

and
the life T everlasting.
Amen.
The
Second Commandment
You
shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.
What
does this mean?
We
should fear and love God so that we do not curse, swear, use satanic
arts, lie, or deceive by His name, but call upon it in every trouble,
pray, praise, and give thanks.
Lord's
Prayer
C Our
Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven;
give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
