45: Scorpions and Snakes (Deuteronomy 7-9)
from Wholly Buyable · host Chas Bayfield
"A vast, dreadful, thirsty, waterless wilderness filled with poisonous snakes and scorpions." This is what the Israelites can expect if they turn from God and go their own way once they have settled in their new land. And they have form, as Moses is only too willing to remind them. The current generation who he is addressing in advance of the invasion of Canaan may be no saints but their parents behaved appallingly - it is their fault that the journey from Egypt has taken 40 years rather than 2 months. It's a history lesson, but quite a lurid one. Chapters covered: Deuteronomy 7-9Written and produced by Chas BayfieldMusic by Michael AuldCover art by Lisa Goff
