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 34:1-35 God Writes on 2 New Tablets of Stone

 

God Writes on 2 New Tablets of Stone

Exodus 34:1-35            The Second Book of Moses Called Exodus

The Lord said to Moses, [Cut] 2 [tablets] of stone like the 1st [ones] & I will write [on these] the words like the 1st [tablets] which you [broke.] [Exodus 32:15-19 And Moses turned & went down from the [mountain] & the 2 [tablets] of the Testimony were in his [hands.] The [tablets] were written on both [of] their sides. On the 1 side & the other, they were written on. and the [tablets] were the work of God & the writing was the writing of God, [engraved] upon the [tablets.] 

And when Joshua heard the noise of the people, as they shouted, he said to Moses, There is a [sound like of] war in the camp. And [Joshua] said, It isn’t the [sound of those who’ve been] overcome: but the [sound] of [those who] sing, I hear. And it [happened,] as soon as [Moses] came [close] to the camp & he saw the [gold] calf & the dancing, Moses’ anger [grew] hot & he cast the [tablets] out of his hands & [broke] them beneath the mount.

Be ready in the morning & come up into Mount Sinai & present yourself there to Me on the top of the [mountain.] No man shall come up with you or be seen throughout the [mountain & no flocks nor herds should feed before the [mountain.] 

Moses [cut] 2 [new tablets] of stone like the 1st [ones] & went early up Mount Sinai [with them] in his hands, as the Lord commanded. The Lord descended in the cloud & stood with [Moses] there & proclaimed the Name of the Lord. And the Lord passed before [Moses] & proclaimed:

The Lord, the Lord God, merciful & gracious, long suffering & abundant in goodness & truth, keeping mercy for 1,000’s, forgiving iniquity, transgression & sin & [Who] by no means [clears] the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children & the children’s children to the 3rd & 4th generation.

Moses [quickly] bowed his head toward the earth & worshiped & said, If I have found grace in Your sight, O Lord, let My Lord, I pray You, go among us, for it is a stiff-necked [stubborn] people & pardon our iniquity & take us for Your inheritance.

[The Lord] said, Behold, I make a covenant [contract] before all your people & I will do marvels, [which] haven’t been done in all the earth, nor in any nation & all the people [around them] shall see the work of the Lord: for it is a terrible [& awesome] thing I will do with you. 

Observe what I command you [today.] Behold, I am driving out before you the: Canaanite, Hittite, Amorite, Perrezite, Hivite & Jebusite. [Pay attention] lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land [where] you [are going,] lest it [become] a snare in [your] midst.

You shall destroy their altars, break their images & cut down their groves. For you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

[Exodus 20:3-5 You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make any [carved] image [for yourself,] or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I, the Lord, your God, Am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children [until] the 3rd & 4th generation of [those who] hate Me.] 

Lest you make a covenant [contract] with the inhabitants of the land & they [act like an unfaithful harlot,] going after their gods & [sacrificing] to their gods & [someone] calls [& invites] you & you eat of his sacrifice.

[Ezekiel 23:37 That they have committed adultery & [bloodshed] is [on] their hands & they have committed adultery with their idols & have also caused their sons whom they [bore] to Me, for them to pass the through the fire, to devour them.]

And you take of their daughters [to be] your sons’ [wives] & their daughters [act like unfaithful harlot] after their gods & make your sons [act like an unfaithful harlot] after their gods. You shall make no molded gods for [yourselves.] 

[Exodus 32:8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way [that] I have commanded them. They have made [themselves a molded] calf & have worshiped it & have sacrificed [to it] & said, These [are] your gods, O Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.]

You shall [continue] to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread & you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, for 7 days [in] the month of Abib. For in the month of Abib you came out [of] Egypt. 

All that open the [womb] are Mine, every [firstborn] male [of] your [livestock]: ox or sheep, but the firstborn [donkey] you shall redeem with a lamb, [but] if you don’t redeem [the donkey] you shall break [its] neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem & none shall appear before Me empty [handed.]

6 days you shall work, but on the 7th day you rest in [plowing] & harvest time. You shall observe the Feast of Weeks, of the firstfruits of [the] wheat harvest & the Feast of Ingathering, at the year’s end. [Three times a] year all your [men] shall appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel. 

For I will cast out the nations before you & enlarge your borders & if you go up before the Lord, your God, [3 times a] year, neither will any man desire your land. You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leaven [with yeast,] neither shall the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover [meat] be left until morning.

You shall bring the firstfruits of your land to the house of the Lord, your God & you shall not [boil] a kid [goat] in its mother’s milk. The Lord said to Moses, Write these [instructions,] for they [represent the terms] of the covenant I have made with you & with Israel.

[Moses] was with the Lord 40 days & nights. [Moses] neither [ate] bread, nor [drank] water. [The Lord God] wrote on the [tablets] the words of the covenant, the 10 Commandments. 

And it [happened,] when Moses had the 2 [tablets] of the Testimony in his hand, when he came down from [Mount Sinai,] Moses [didn’t know] that the skin of his face [glowed] while he talked with [the Lord God.] When Aaron & all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, his face [glowed] & they were afraid to come [near] him.

Moses called to them, and Aaron & all the rulers of the congregation returned to him & Moses talked with them. Afterwards, the children of Israel came [near.] [Moses] gave them the [commandments of] all the Lord had spoken with him on Mount Sinai. And [until] when [Moses finished] speaking with them, [Moses] put a [veil] on his face. 

Moses took off his [veil] when he went in before the Lord to speak with Him. [Moses kept] the [veil] off, until he came out.  And [Moses] came out & spoke to the children of Israel [what] he was commanded. [Whenever] the children of Israel saw [Moses’s] face, the skin of his face [glowed,] Moses [would] put the veil on his face again, until he went to speak with [the Lord God.]
