Deuteronomy 3 · Grade 5

Strengthen the Next Leader

Name Date

Read and Think

Deuteronomy 3 completes Israel's victories east of the Jordan. Og king of Bashan came out to battle at Edrei, but God told Moses not to fear, and Og fell as Sihon had. The note about Og's iron bedstead, nine cubits long, reminds readers how great the threat had seemed, and how much greater God is.

Moses gave this land to Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh, on one condition. Their soldiers must cross the Jordan armed and fight beside their brothers until God gave all Israel rest. Unity mattered more than comfort.

Then Moses shares a personal prayer. He asked to cross over and see the good land, praising God's greatness. God said, That is enough. Moses could only see the land from Pisgah, and his task was to commission, encourage, and strengthen Joshua. Faithful leaders prepare others to carry on what they cannot finish.
