Hear Ye, Hear Ye

From the song that the Lord God
told Moses to write down and teach to the Israelites:

Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: so the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape. But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.-Deuteronomy 32:7-18***Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai) were descendants of Adam and Eve, their son Seth, Seth's great-great-great-grandson Enoch, Enoch's great-grandson Noah the ark builder, Noah's son Shem, Shem's son Arphaxad, and Arphaxad's great-great-great-great-great-grandson TerahWhen Terah, Abraham and Sarah lived in Ur in southern Mesopotamia, the Lord God told Abraham to leave his country and kin and come into the land he would be shown. The Lord God promised to give Canaan to Abraham's descendants and to Abraham. Decades after Abraham and Sarah's only child Isaac was born, the Lord God promised to give Canaan to Isaac and Isaac's descendants. Decades after fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel) were born to Isaac and his wife Rebekah, the Lord God promised to give Canaan to Jacob and Jacob's descendants. Sometime after Jacob died in Egypt and his body was buried in Canaan, the descendants, the Israelites, were enslaved in Egypt. Aaron and his brother Moses were Israelites from the tribe of Levi, descended from Jacob and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. When Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83, they led the Israelites away from Egypt, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur, according to the commands of the Lord God. Months thereafter, the Israelites, and those with them, were in the desert wilderness of Sinai, in the region of Mount Sinai. The Israelites heard the voice of the Lord God proclaim the Ten Commandments to them, and the Lord God began giving Moses judgments, statutes and laws for the Israelites. The Israelites, referred to as Jeshurun in the verses above, continually worshiped idols, including the golden calf sculpted by Aaron. During the 40th year of their journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Aaron died and was buried upon Mount Hor. Shortly thereafter, Moses recounted the idolatrous history of the Israelites to them, and Moses and Joshua, Moses' successor, taught the Israelites a song. Moses blessed the Israelites, and went upon Mount Nebo, and the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and Moses died and was divinely buried. Over 1,400 years after Joshua led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the Promised Land, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, 32:1-42, 34:1-35:34, Deuteronomy 1:1-13:18, 17:1-7, 27:1-34:12, Joshua, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 6:1-8:4
