About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible::

About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: I was uncertain of how to accomplish this, mindful of Revelation 22:18-19, which says that nobody is to add to, or to take away from what was written in the Bible. After lots of prayerful contemplation, the Lord had it on my heart that I’m not to change the meaning of what is written in the Bible. He has also shown ways to add to people’s understating of that meaning, without altering the meaning, by putting that info within [brackets]. This is primarily accomplished with the KJV Bible and lots of prayers, but at times, BibleGateway.com, Biblehub.com, NIV Bible, Webster Dictionary, and other internet resources, as needed.

About Understanding the Bible:

Understanding the Bible: After reading Isaiah 28:10 many times over the years and not totally understanding it, it recently became apparent to me that the Lord God has this passage as the means for understanding the Bible. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. Isaiah 28:10 KJV. Being prayerful about this passage, and looking up 'precept' in the Webster's Dictionary, it gave this passage a whole new meaning, once 'commandment' is substituted for 'precept'. Within brackets are additional words the Lord had on my heart to aid in understanding the meaning. For commandment must be [built up] upon commandment; commandment upon commandment; line upon line, line upon line; [developing understanding] here a little, and there a little.

The Table Format:

The Table Format: I was overwhelmed with how to explain the process for determining if someone had leprosy in Leviticus 13, which seemed very complicated. After praying, "Lord, if this is difficult for me to understand after reading it many times, how can this be explained to others?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was for me to put it into a vertical chart to visually see the process. This made it much easier for me to follow the progression. After doing so, I prayed, "Lord, how can this be conveyed to readers, so that they can understand this process?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was to put it within the lines of a table. Being a stiff-necked, stubborn person, as it's often called in the Bible, I prayed, asking the Lord God if He's sure that's really what He wanted me to do? I reluctantly put Leviticus 13 into a table format. When I read this difficult leprosy process within a table format, it suddenly became easier for me to understand. That's because it builds line upon line, as explained in the Understanding the Bible section. Shortly after that, the Lord God had it on my heart, to put all of The Books of the Bible in Smaller Chunks within a table format, to aid in understanding, line upon line.

Exodus 2:1-25 Moses is Hidden in an Ark

 

Moses is Hidden in an Ark & Pharaoh’s Daughter Rescues Him

Exodus 2:1-25            The Second Book of Moses Called Exodus

A man of the house of Levi [married] a daughter of a [Levite] & [she] conceived & bore a [healthy, beautiful] son & hid him for 3 months. When she could no longer hide him, [his mother] took an ark of bulrushes & daubed it inside & out with slime & pitch [to keep it water tight.] 

She put the child in it & laid it in the [reeds by the river’s edge.] His sister watched [from a distance] to [know] what would [happen] to him. The Pharaoh’s daughter came to [bathe] in the river & her maidens walked along the side of the river. When she saw the ark among the [reeds,] she sent her maid to [get] it. 

When she opened it, she saw the child & the baby wept & she had compassion on him & said, This is one of the Hebrew’s children. Then [the baby’s] sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go & call you a nurse of the Hebrew women, [so] that she may nurse the child for you? She told [his sister,] Go [get one.] 

The maid called the [child’s] mother. The Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Take this child away & nurse [him] for me & I will [pay] you your wages. The woman took the child & nursed [him] & the child grew until she brought him to the Pharaoh’s daughter & he became her son. 

She named him Moses, Because I drew him out of the water. When Moses was grown, he went to [see] his brethren & [saw] their burdens. He [saw] an Egyptian [beating] a Hebrew, one of his brethren. [After looking both ways] & seeing no [one looking, Moses] killed the Egyptian & hid him in the sand.

When [Moses] went out the next day, 2 Hebrew men [were fighting] & [Moses] said, [Why are] you [striking your companion?] He said, Who made you a prince & a judge over us? [Do you] intend to kill me [like] you killed the Egyptian? Moses was [fearful] & said, Surely this thing is known.

The Pharaoh sought to [kill] Moses when he heard of this, but Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh & dwelt in the land of the Midian & he sat down by a well . The priest of Midian had 7 daughters, [who] came & drew water & filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.

[Then] the shepherds came & drove them away; but Moses stood up & helped them & watered their flock. When they got back to their father, Reuel, he said, How [did you finish] so early today? 

They said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds & also drew enough water for us, & watered the flock. He asked his daughters, Where is he? Why is it that you have left the man?

Call him, that he may eat bread. Moses was content to [live] with the man & he gave his daughter, Zipporah, to Moses [as his wife.] She bore him a son & [Moses] named him Gershom: for I have been a stranger in a strange land.

[In time,] the king of Egypt died & the children of Israel [groaned] & cried out, [because] of their bondage. God heard their groaning & God remembered His covenant [contract] with Abraham, Isaac & Jacob & the Lord God looked upon the children of Israel & God had respect [for] them.
