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 35:1-35 Offerings of Materials to be Used for the Tabernacle

 

Offerings of Materials to be Used for the Tabernacle

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

Then, Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel [Israelites] together & said to them, These are the words which the Lord has commanded, that you should do them. 

[Work shall be done 6 days, but the 7th day shall be a holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord. [Whoever] does [any] work [on the Sabbath] shall be put to death. You shall not kindle a fire throughout your [dwellings] on the Sabbath day. 

Moses spoke to all the congregation of [Israelites,] saying, This is the thing which the Lord commanded, saying, [Whoever] is of a willing heart, let him bring an offering to the Lord.

[Exodus 25:8-9 And let them make Me a sanctuary; [so] that I may dwell among them. You shall even make it, according to all that I [explained] to you [about] the pattern of the Tabernacle & the pattern of all [of its] instruments.]

[An offering to the Lord of:] gold, silver, brass; blue, purple & scarlet [thread;] fine linen & goat’s hair, ram skins dyed red & badger’s skins; shittim wood, oil for the light & spices for the anointing oil & for the sweet incense; onyx stones & stones to be set in the ephod [decorative vestment for the high priest] & [stones] in the breastplate. 

Every [skilled] artisan among you shall come & make all that the Lord has commanded: the tabernacle, [its] tent, covering, [clasps,] boards, bars, pillars, sockets, the ark & [its poles,] with the mercy seat & the [veil] of the covering, the table & [its poles,] all [its] vessels [utensils] & the showbread;

also the candlestick for the light & [its] furniture [utensils,] [its] lamps & the oil for the light & the incense altar, [its poles,] the anointing oil, the sweet incense & the hanging [screen] for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle; the altar of burnt offering with [its] brass grate, [its] [poles,]

and all [its] vessels, [utensils] & the [basin] & [base]; the hangings of the [courtyard, its] pillars, their sockets & the hanging [screen] for the door of the [courtyard;] the [pegs] of the Tabernacle, the [pegs] of the [courtyard] & their cords,

the [clothing] of service for [ministering] in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron, the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office. And all the congregation of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.

Everyone whose heart stirred him & had a willing spirit, brought the Lord’s offering to [do] the work of the Tabernacle of the congregation & for all His service & for the holy garments.

Both men & women came, as many as [had] a willing heart & they brought: bracelets, earrings, rings, tablets, all [jewelry] of gold, offered [as] an offering of gold to the Lord. [Everyone who had these] brought: blue, purple & scarlet [thread,] fine linen & goat’s hair, red skins of rams & badger’s skins.

[Those who had these items &] offered the Lord’s offering, brought: silver & brass & shittim wood for any work of the service. The women [who] were [skilled artisans, spun] with their hands & brought [what] they had spun: blue, purple, scarlet & fine linen. 

And all the women whose [hearts] were stirred [with] wisdom, spun [yarn] of goat’s hair. The rulers brought onyx stones & stones to be set [in] the ephod & for the breastplate & spice & oil for the light & for the anointing oil & for sweet incense. 

The children of Israel brought a willing offering to the Lord, every man & woman whose hearts were willing to bring [materials] for all [kinds] of work, which the Lord had commanded to be made, [under the supervision of] Moses.

And Moses said to [Israelites,] See, the Lord has called Bezaleel, the son of Uri, [who] is the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah & [the Lord God] has filled [Bezaleel] with the Spirit of God, in wisdom & understanding, in knowledge,

and all [types] of workmanship to [design artistic] works, to work in gold, silver & brass, in cutting stones, to set them & in carving wood & to make any [type] of [artistic] workmanship. [The Lord God] has put in his [Bezaleel’s] heart to teach & also in Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 

[The Lord God] has filled them with [skillful hearts] of wisdom, to [make] all [types] of work: of the engraver & [designer] & the embroiderer, in blue, purple & scarlet [thread] & fine linen & of the weaver, even of those who do every work & those who [design] artistic [works.]
