Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience - Day 148

In Day 148 of Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience, the journey unfolds as the Lord instructs His people to navigate through various lands, including those of the Edomites, Moabites, Ammonites, and more. Moses recounts God's commands to avoid confrontation with these nations, respecting their divinely allotted territories. However, when encountering King Sahan of Heshbon and King Og of Bashan, the Israelites engage in battle as directed by God, achieving significant victories and acquiring vast lands. The narrative details the importance of obedience, the distribution of conquered lands among the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, and Moses urging Joshua to lead the people into the Promised Land. Despite Moses' plea to enter the land himself, God's response is firm, assigning Joshua the task of guiding the Israelites. This reading encapsulates themes of faith, obedience, and the transition of leadership vital to the Israelites' journey.

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?”
