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 36:1-38 Making the Things for the Tabernacle According to the Lord’s Intelligent Design

 

Making the Things for the Tabernacle According to the Lord’s Intelligent Design

Exodus 36:1-38            The Second Book of Moses Called Exodus

Then Bezaleel, Aholiab & every [skilled] artisan [fashioned,] in whom the Lord [God] put wisdom & understanding to know how to do all [types] of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all the Lord had commanded. 

And Moses called Bezaleel, Aholiab & every wise hearted [person,] in whose heart, the Lord put wisdom,even everyone whose heart [was] stirred to come do the work. And they received [from] Moses all the [freewill] offerings which the children of Israel [Israelites] had brought for the work of [making] the sanctuary & they [continued] to [bring them] every morning. 

And all the [skilled] men who [fashioned & were doing] all the work of the sanctuary, [left] his work & came & [spoke] to Moses, saying, The people [have brought] much more than enough [items to do] the work which the Lord has commanded to [be made.] 

Moses proclaimed throughout the camp,saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more [offerings for] the work of sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing [any more.] For the stuff they had was [more than] sufficient for [them] to make all the work & [it] was too much. 

Every [skilled] artisan among them [who fashioned] the work on the Tabernacle made 10 curtains 28 cubits [long] x 4 cubits [wide,] each of fine [woven] linen & purple, blue & scarlet [thread] with cherubim [angels] & [were] made of [skillful] work. The curtains were all [the same] size. He coupled [each of 2 sets of] 5 curtains were coupled to one another & the loops held one curtain to another. 

50 loops of blue yarn were made on the selvedge edge [of 1 set of 5 curtains] & 50 loops on the [outer] edge of the other [set of 5 curtains.] 50 [clasps] of gold were made which coupled [each set of 5 curtains to the other set of curtains] that it became one Tabernacle. 

He made 11 curtains [each:] 30 cubits [long] x 4 cubits [wide] of goats’ hair for the tent over the tabernacle. He coupled 5 curtains [together] & made 50 loops on the [outermost] edge of [1 set of curtains & coupled the other] 6 curtains [together.] 

He made 50 loops on the [outermost] edge of the 2nd [set of curtains & coupled both sets] together with the 50 brass [clasps] he made to couple the tent together, so that it might be one. Then he made a covering for the tent made of ram’s skins dyed red & a covering above that [were] made of badger’s skins. 

For the Tabernacle, he made [upright] boards of shittim wood 10 cubits [long] x 1½ cubits [wide & each] board had 2 tenons, of [equal distance] from one another, [for binding] one to another. He made 20 boards for the south side & 20 for the north side of the Tabernacle & 40 sockets of silver for each side for the 2 tenons [underneath each of] the boards. 

He made 6 [more] boards for the west side. He made 2 boards for the 2 [back] corners of the Tabernacle & they were coupled together at the [top] & the [bottom by] one ring for [the 2] corners. [So,] there were 8  boards and their sockets were 16 sockets of silver- 2 sockets under every board.

He made 5 bars of shittim wood for the boards [for each of the 3 sides] of the Tabernacle. He made the middle bar [pass] through the boards from one end to another. He overlaid [all] the boards & bars with gold & made their rings of gold to be [holders] for the bars. 

He made a [veil] of blue, purple & scarlet [thread] & fine [woven] linen with an [artistic] work of cherubim [angels.] [For it,] he made 4 pillars of shittim wood & overlaid them with gold & [with] hooks of gold.

He cast 4 sockets of silver for them. He also made a hanging [screen] for the Tabernacle door of blue, purple & scarlet [thread]  & fine [woven] linen & needlework. The 5 pillars of it with their hooks, he overlaid their [capitals] & their [bands] with gold, but their 5 sockets were brass.
