Day 150: Moses' Instructions and the Covenant at Mount Sinai

Welcome to Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience. On this 150th day, the focus is on the body of instructions that Moses presented to the Israelites. These include the laws, decrees, and regulations given to them after they left Egypt, while they camped in the valley near Beth Peor. The reading covers Israel's conquest of the lands of the Amorite kings, Moses recounting the covenant made by God at Mount Sinai, and the core commandments given to the people of Israel. The importance of obeying these commands to ensure prosperity and long life in the promised land is emphasized. Additionally, Moses implores the Israelites to commit themselves wholeheartedly to God's decrees, and to teach them diligently to their children. The reading concludes with a reminder about the blessings of the promised land and the necessity of fearing and serving the Lord alone.

QUICK START GUIDE
3 ways to get the most out of your experience

1. Use Immerse: Beginnings instead of your regular chapter and verse Bible. This special reader’s edition restores the Bible to its natural simplicity and beauty by removing chapter and verse numbers and other historical additions. Letters look like letters, songs look like songs, and the original literary structures are visible in each book.
2. Commit to making this a community experience. Immerse is designed for groups to encounter large portions of the Bible together
   for 8 weeks–more like a book club, less like a Bible study. By meeting every week in small groups and discussing what you read in open,
   honest conversations, you and your community can come together to be transformed through an authentic experience with the Scriptures.
3. Aim to understand the big story. Read through “The Stories and the Story” (p. 483) to see how the books of the Bible work together to tell God’s story of his creation’s restoration. As you read through Immerse: Beginnings, rather than ask, “How do I fit God into my busy life?” begin asking, “How can I join in God’s great plan by living out my part in his story?”
