Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture. The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension.
What are the key readings for Day 73 of the Bible in a Year?
Using the Great Adventure Bible Timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. It is day 73, and we are reading from Numbers chapter 26, Deuteronomy chapter 27. We are also praying Psalm 111 as always. The Bible translation that I'm using today and pretty much every day is the Revised Standard Version, the Second Catholic Edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your Bible in a Year reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a Year. You also can subscribe in your podcast app to receive daily episodes. But as I said, today we are reading from Numbers 26, Deuteronomy 27. We are praying Psalm 111. I want to give you fair warning. Numbers 26 has a lot of names. This is another census of Israel. So just get your census caps on, get your names cap on and some numbers because we're gonna go through the family of the house of Israel once again. And this is the census at the end of Numbers, right?
So we had the census at the very beginning of Numbers. Here we are with the census at the end of Numbers to kind of say, okay, after 40 years, what's going on? Who are the people? Who are the people that are coming into the promised land, who have made it through the wilderness? What are their names and how many are there? That's today in Numbers chapter 26.
Who are the descendants listed in Numbers 26?
