Podcast Introduction

Today we will begin the book of  Numbers by reading chapters 1-4. I’m calling today’s episode “In the Wilderness” because that is the Hebrew title for the book of Numbers.  The previous book, Leviticus, told the story of the Hebrew people in the year after God, through Moses, led them out of Egyptian bondage. It covered just a year. Numbers covers the more than thirty-eight years they were in the wilderness.

Steve Webb 0:07This is the Lifespring family Audio Bible coming to you from Riverside, California. And podcasting since 2004. I'm your OG God casters, Steve Webb, welcome. This is the daily show where we're reading through the entire Bible in a year and the show's about 11 hours later. Sorry about that. We're going to begin the Book of Numbers by reading chapters one through four today. I hope your Resurrection Sunday was a good one. The lovely lady Liana and I spent the day with family at her mom's house, which is why the episode is so late. It was a great day. But I was just completely wiped out when we got home. And it was probably 1030 or so before I was even able to think about getting into the studio, which would have made the show late to begin with, because I normally put the show out at 10pm, the day before. So for Monday show I should be getting things out and published at 10 o'clock Sunday. Like I said, I didn't get in the studio till 1030 or so. Also, I was exhausted. We had been up very late the night before preparing some of the food for the dinner, Resurrection Sunday dinner. And we got up early the next day to continue their preparation. So yeah, I was not able to do anything. So I just came to bed. And right now as I'm recording this, it's 8:32am Monday morning, and hopefully this will get pushed out by nine o'clock. So that's what's going on. I'm sorry, it's late. But my guess is you probably didn't even listen to the show on Resurrection Sunday, because you were involved yourself with your own family or your church or whatever. So this is late, but we're still on time. As far as the the schedule for getting through the Bible in a year. The title for today's show is in the wilderness, because that is the Hebrew title for the book of Numbers. The previous book, Leviticus told the story of the Hebrew people in the year after God through Moses led them out of Egyptian bondage. And that book, Leviticus covered just a year, this book numbers covers the more than 38 years that they were in the wilderness. So that's all the commentary that we're going to have today. We'll just have the reading. And we'll get out of here. As a matter of fact, I'll say goodbye right now and get directly into the reading. So until tomorrow, may God bless you richly. Oh, by the way, in case you'd like to come in on today's show the shownotes pages at Lifespring media.com/s 12 e 228. And my email address is Steve at Lifespring media.com. So, with that said, may God bless you richly.
