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.

Leviticus 10:1-20 Priests Nadab & Abihu Offer Profane Fire to the Lord

 

Priests Nadab & Abihu Offer Profane Fire to the Lord

Leviticus 10:1-20      The Third Book of Moses Called Leviticus

[Both priests,] Nadab & Abihu, the sons of Aaron, [each] took his censer & put fire [in it] & put incense [on it there] & offered strange fire before the Lord, which had not commanded them. 

[Exodus 30:7-9 And Aaron shall burn [on there] sweet incense every morning: when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it. and when Aaron lights the lamps at [evening,] he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations. Ye shall offer no strange incense [on there,] nor burnt sacrifice, nor [meat/grain] offering [on there.] 

[So] fire went out from the Lord & devoured them & they died before the Lord. [Revelation 20:9 and they went up on the breadth of the earth & [encompassed] the camp [around] the saints & the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven & devoured them.] 

[Moses told] Aaron, This is [what] the Lord [spoke,] saying, I  will be sanctified [by those who] come near Me & I will be glorified before all the people. [So] Aaron held his peace.

Moses called Mishael & Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, [Aaron’s] uncle & said to them, Come near & carry your brethren [out] from before the sanctuary [to] outside the camp. So, they went near & carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said.

Moses said to Aaron & his sons: Eleazar & Ithamar, [Don’t] uncover your heads & neither [tear] your clothing, lest you die & wrath [comes] on all the people. [Leviticus 21:1012 And he [who] is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured & [who] is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor [tear] his clothes. Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or mother. Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor [defile] the sanctuary, of his God; for the crown of the [head with] anointing oil, of his God is upon him. I am the Lord.]

But let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, [wail, expressing sorrow for] the burning which the Lord has kindled. You shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest you die.

For the anointing oil of the Lord is upon you & they did according to the word of Moses. The Lord [spoke] to Aaron, saying, Don’t you or your sons drink wine or strong drink, when you go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest you die. 

It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations: [So] that you may [distinguish] between [the] holy & unholy and between clean & unclean. [So] you may teach the children [people] of Israel all the statutes which the Lord has spoken to them by the hand of Moses. 

Moses [spoke] to Aaron & Eleazar & Ithamar, his sons [who] are left, Take the [meat/grain] offering that remains of the offerings of the Lord made by fire & eat it without leaven [yeast,] beside the altar: for it is most holy. You shall eat it in the holy place, because it is your & your sons’ [portions] due of the sacrifices of the Lord made by fire: [as] I am commanded [to do] so.

The heave shoulder & the wave breast, you shall eat in a clean place. You, your sons & your daughters with you. For they are your [portion] due & your son’s [portion] due, which are given out of the sacrifices of [the] Peace Offerings of the children [people] of Israel. 

The heave shoulder & the wave breast shall [be brought] with the offerings made by fire [from] the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the Lord & it shall be yours & your sons with you, by a statute forever, as the Lord has commanded. 

Moses diligently [searched] for the goat of the sin offering & behold, it was burnt. [Numbers 18:1 And the Lord said to Aaron, You & your sons & your father’s house with you shall bear the [sin] of the sanctuary. And you & your sons with you shall bear the [sin] of your priesthood.]

[Moses] was angry with Eleazer & Ithamar, [Aaron’s] sons [who remained] alive, saying, [Why haven’t] you eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy & God has given it [to] you to bear the iniquities of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord?

[See,] the blood of it was not brought within the holy place & you indeed should have eaten [the goat of the sin offering,] in the holy place, as I commanded.

Aaron said to Moses, [Look,] this day they have offered their sin offering & their burnt offering before the Lord & [the death & sinfulness of my other 2 sons has befallen me & if I had eaten the sin offering today [would] it have been accepted in the sight of the Lord? When Moses heard that, he was content.
