Deuteronomy's Final Message: Covenant Terms and Israel's Journey - Day 147 of Bible Reading

Welcome to Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience. On Day 147, we delve into the Book of Deuteronomy, where Moses prepares the new generation of Israelites to enter the promised land. After 40 years of wandering, Moses reiterates the terms of God's covenant in a form similar to ancient treaties between kings and their subjects. The six-part structure covers the High King's credentials, Israel's duties, blessings and curses, and the necessity of exclusive allegiance to God. This episode also highlights Moses' recount of Israel's previous disobedience and the selection of leaders to share his burden. Join us to understand this foundational moment for Israel as they stand on the brink of their promise.

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?”
