Reading for September 3rd

 Read Exodus 23.20-33. In 23.20-33: God promises and instructions regarding Israel's future entry into Canaan. In verse 20: The Lord promises to send an angel as a divine representative to protect and fight for the Israelites (see v. 23 and 14.19) Discussion about the angel will reappear in Josh 5.13-15 and Judg 2.1-5. In verse 31: The sea of the Philistines is the Mediterranean Sea to the west of Canaan. The wilderness is probably the Negev region south of Canaan. The boundaries correspond roughly to the size of Israel under King Solomon (1 Kings 4.21). Comments or Questions..
