Deuteronomy 16, Isaiah 34

Deuteronomy 16


- They were to remember the month of Abib and the Passover


- They needed to make a passover sacrifice from the flock at the place God chooses.


- They shall eat unleavened bread for 7 days because they left Egypt in haste.


- They shouldn't even have leaven to be seen in their area.

- They should always remember the day God brought them out of Egypt.

- No meat that they eat at night shall be left until morning on the first day.

- They shouldn't offer the Passover sacrifice in the towns they take over but in a place God will appoint.

- They shall offer the Passover sacrifice in the evening at sunset (because that's when they left Egypt)

- They should cook and eat it where God chooses.

- 6 days with no leaven and one the 7th day they shall do no work.

- They should count 7 weeks from when they first start the harvest.

- During the Feast of Weeks they shall offer a freewill offering.

- Everyone including slaves and sojourners shall shall rejoice and remember that they were all once slaves in Egypt.

- The Feast of Booths shall be kept for 7 days when they have gathered the produce.

- They should be altogether joyful that God has blessed the work of their hands.

- Three times a year all males shall appear before the Lord; at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Booths.

- They shouldn't come before the Lord empty handed, but should give to the Lord with what he has been blessed with.

- They should appoint judges and officials in each town to make righteous judgments.

- They should be partial or accept bribes.

Isaiah 34

- God is addressing all nations.

- God is furious and enrages against all nations and has devoted it to destruction.

- There will be corpses and blood flowing from mountains.

- Why will heaven rot away?

- The sky will roll up like a scroll.

- Who in heaven has been cut down by God's sword?

- God's judgment is now on Edom.

- The Lord's sword is filled with blood and fat from sacrifices.

- The Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah.

- Will the land be filled with animal blood or the blood of the people there?

- The land in Edom shall be gorged in fat.
- The Lord will take vengeance for Zion and Edom will burn like pitch forever.
- No one will even pass through Edom again.
- The hawk, porcupine, owl, and raven shall dwell there.
- God will draw a line of confusion and emptiness over it.
- Thorns, nettles, and thistles shall grow over it's strongholds.
- Wild animals; jackals, ostriches, hyenas, goats, and night bird shall rest there.
- The owls and hawks will nest there too.
- Why does it say to seek and read from the Book of the Lord that these animals will be there?
- God's spirit has gathered them there and given them that land forever.
