highlighted Deuteronomy 2:26-30 ESV
"So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon the king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying,'Let me pass through your land. I will go only by the road; I will turn aside neither to the right nor to the left.You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink. Only let me pass through on foot,as the sons of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for me, until I go over the Jordan into the land that the Lord our God is giving to us.'But Sihon the king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him, for the Lord your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that he might give him into your hand, as he is this day.

highlighted Deuteronomy 2:3-7 ESV
'You have been traveling around this mountain country long enough. Turn northwardand command the people, "You are about to pass through the territory of your brothers, the people of Esau, who live in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. So be very careful.Do not contend with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.You shall purchase food from them with money, that you may eat, and you shall also buy water from them with money, that you may drink.For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He knows your going through this great wilderness. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing."'

highlighted Acts 4:19-30 ESV
But Peter and John answered them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge,for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard."And when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people, for all were praising God for what had happened.For the man on whom this sign of healing was performed was more than forty years old.When they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them.And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, "Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them,who through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said by the Holy Spirit, "'Why did the Gentiles rage, and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers were gathered together, against the Lord and against his Anointed'— for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place.And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness,while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus."

highlighted Psalms 81:6-16 ESV
I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. "But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels. Oh, that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways! I would soon subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes. Those who hate the Lord would cringe toward him, and their fate would last forever. But he would feed you with the finest of the wheat, and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you." "I relieved your shoulder of the burden; your hands were freed from the basket. In distress you called, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah Hear, O my people, while I admonish you! O Israel, if you would but listen to me! There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god.

highlighted Deuteronomy 1:6-46 ESV
The Lord your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are today as numerous as the stars of heaven.May the Lord, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are and bless you, as he has promised you!How can I bear by myself the weight and burden of you and your strife?Choose for your tribes wise, understanding, and experienced men, and I will appoint them as your heads.'And you answered me, 'The thing that you have spoken is good for us to do.'So I took the heads of your tribes, wise and experienced men, and set them as heads over you, commanders of thousands, commanders of hundreds, commanders of fifties, commanders of tens, and officers, throughout your tribes.And I charged your judges at that time, 'Hear the cases between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother or the alien who is with him.You shall not be partial in judgment. You shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not be intimidated by anyone, for the judgment is God's. And the case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.'And I commanded you at that time all the things that you should do."Then we set out from Horeb and went through all that great and terrifying wilderness that you saw, on the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded us. And we came to Kadesh-barnea.And I said to you, 'You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God is giving us.See, the Lord your God has set the land before you. Go up, take possession, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has told you. Do not fear or be dismayed.'Then all of you came near me and said, 'Let us send men before us, that they may explore the land for us and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up and the cities into which we shall come.'The thing seemed good to me, and I took twelve men from you, one man from each tribe.And they turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol and spied it out.And they took in their hands some of the fruit of the land and brought it down to us, and brought us word again and said, 'It is a good land that the Lord our God is giving us.'"Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the command of the Lord your God.And you murmured in your tents and said, 'Because the Lord hated us he has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our hearts melt, saying, "The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortified up to heaven. And besides, we have seen the sons of the Anakim there."'Then I said to you, 'Do not be in dread or afraid of them.The Lord your God who goes before you will himself fight for you, just as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,and in the wilderness, where you have seen how the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way that you went until you came to this place.'Yet in spite of this word you did not believe the Lord your God,who went before you in the way to seek you out a place to pitch your tents, in fire by night and in the cloud by day, to show you by what way you should go."And the Lord heard your words and was angered, and he swore,'Not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land that I swore to give to your fathers,except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it, and to him and to his children I will give the land on which he has trodden, because he has wholly followed the Lord!'Even with me the Lord was angry on your account and said, 'You also shall not go in there.Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall enter. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.And as for your little ones, who you said would become a prey, and your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there. And to them I will give it, and they shall possess it.But as for you, turn, and journey into the wilderness in the direction of the Red Sea.'"Then you answered me, 'We have sinned against the Lord. We ourselves will go up and fight, just as the Lord our God commanded us.' And every one of you fastened on his weapons of war and thought it easy to go up into the hill country.And the Lord said to me, 'Say to them, Do not go up or fight, for I am not in your midst, lest you be defeated before your enemies.'So I spoke to you, and you would not listen; but you rebelled against the command of the Lord and presumptuously went up into the hill country.Then the Amorites who lived in that hill country came out against you and chased you as bees do and beat you down in Seir as far as Hormah.And you returned and wept before the Lord, but the Lord did not listen to your voice or give ear to you.So you remained at Kadesh many days, the days that you remained there. "The Lord our God said to us in Horeb, 'You have stayed long enough at this mountain.Turn and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites and to all their neighbors in the Arabah, in the hill country and in the lowland and in the Negeb and by the seacoast, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.See, I have set the land before you. Go in and take possession of the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their offspring after them.'"At that time I said to you, 'I am not able to bear you by myself.
