The reading for Friday, September 22, 2023, is Hosea 6 - 8

Hosea 6 - 8 

When it talks of the calf of Samaria, I'm thinking that's related to the calf that Aaron made way back when. When Moses comes down from the mountain then, it sounds like he puts an end to the calf. Here it looks like some continued to worship a calf.

The reading for Tuesday, February 7, 2023 , is Numbers 7 - 9

Numbers 7 - 9   Although I find the listing of what each tribe brought to the tabernacle dry reading, I do note that each tribe brought exactly the same thing. It's fair. I am also curious about how they decided which tribe presented on which day. It's not by age and it doesn't say.  I am also struck by a celebration lasting 12 days. What celebration in our culture lasts 12 days? None that I can think of. The longest thing I can think of in our culture is the county fair which lasts for a week.  I continue to remind myself that all of these offerings speak to the holiness of God and a greater understanding, albeit it a nanoparticle, of the import of Jesus' death on the cross.

The reading for Saturday, February 25, 2023 , is Deuteronomy 29 - 31

Deuteronomy 29 - 31   I didn't realize there were 2 covenants. One made in Moab and one at Horeb. I find this confusing. What are the differences between them, if any?  For most today's readying I am struck by the repeated instruction to love to Lord with all our hearts, minds, etc. I am also struck by the lack of the repetition of: Love thy neighbor as thyself. When I google where this is found in the Old Testament, I get one reference in Leviticus.  In today's reading, the Lord knows that the Israelites will turn away from him. I am curious to see what the song Moses is going to teach them will say.

Reading the Bible Through in 1 year

Planning to try to do this again in 2025.  Hoping to add to previous posts and to stay on the schedule better.  The schedule, in general, is to read 3 Bible chapters 6 days per week and 5 Bible chapters on the 7th day of the week.  May the reading of the Word bless you.  Previous post: I have long wanted to create an online space in which people could discuss Bible passages. To that end, this blog will show what chapters to read/listen to each day to finish reading the Bible through in a little less than 1 year. We will read 3 chapters every day except on Sundays. On Sundays we will read 5 chapters. If I calculated correctly, this reading plan will finish on Christmas day 2023.  Feel free to comment, reflect and/ or to agree, disagree and, perhaps most importantly, to agree to disagree and move forward together.   This is a place for civil and respectful discussion/reflection. Some scriptures to consider: Titus 3:9  But avoid  foolish controversie...
