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 5:1-23 Pharaoh Won’t Let the Hebrews Go

 

Pharaoh Won’t Let the Hebrews Go When Moses & Aaron Ask Him

Exodus 5:1-23            The Second Book of Moses Called Exodus

Afterward, Moses & Aaron went in & told Pharaoh, The Lord God of Israel says [this,]: Let My people go, [so] that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness. Pharaoh said, Who is the Lord, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I don’t know the Lord, neither will I let Israel go.

[So,] they said, The God of the Hebrews has met with us. We pray [that] you, let us go on a 3 [day] journey into the desert & sacrifice to the Lord our God, lest He fall on us with pestilence or with the sword. 

The king of Egypt [asked,] Why do you, Moses & Aaron, [take] the people from their [work?] Get back to your [jobs.] And Pharaoh said [to the taskmasters,] [Look, the people of the land are now many & you let them rest from their [jobs.]

Pharaoh commanded the task masters & their officers the same day, saying, You shall no [longer] give the people the straw [needed] to make the brick [as in the past.] Let them now go & gather the straw for themselves & they [will still have the same [quota] of bricks [that they had before] & you shall not [reduce it.] They [are] idle, therefore they cry, saying, Let us go & sacrifice to our God.

Let them have [even more work] laid on the men, [so] they may [do that work.] [Don't let them pay attention to false] words. The taskmasters & their officers [spoke] to the people, saying, Pharaoh says [this,] I will not give you straw. You go & find it where you can. [Still,] your world shall not [be reduced any.]

So, the people were scattered [around] throughout the land of Egypt [gathering] stubble instead of straw. The taskmasters forced them to hurry & fulfill their [daily quota] as when there was straw. 

Pharaoh had [put] taskmasters over the officers of the children [people] of Israel, were beaten, [demanding, Why] haven't you fulfilled your [tasks' quota] in making [bricks] both today & yesterday, [the same as you did in the past?] The officers of the children of Israel cried out to Pharaoh [asking,] Why are you [treating us,] your servants [like this?] 

No straw is given to your servants & they say to us, Make bricks & [look,] your servants are beaten, but the fault is in your own people. [Pharaoh] said, You are [too] idle, [that's why you ask,] Let us go & sacrifice to the Lord. Go back] & work & no straw shall be given you. 

You shall [still deliver the same daily quota] of bricks. The officers of the children [people] of Israel [saw they were in trouble,] after [Pharaoh] said, You shall not [reduce their quota] of bricks from your daily task. And they met Moses & Aaron who stood in the [road] as they [left from] the Pharaoh.

They [told Moses, Let] the Lord look on you & judge, because you have made us [hated] in the [sight] of the Pharaoh & his servants, [enough] to put a sword in their hands to [kill] us. Moses returned to the Lord & said, Lord, [why have] You [brought trouble] on this people?

Why is it You have sent me? For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your Name, he [has] done evil to this people? Neither have You delivered Your people, at all.
