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 1:1-17 Burnt Offerings to the Lord

 

Burnt Offerings to the Lord

Leviticus 1:1-17        The Third Book of Moses Called Leviticus

The Lord called to Moses & [spoke] to him [from] the tabernacle of the congregation saying, Speak to the children of Israel & say to them, [When,] any [Israelite] man [brings] an offering to the Lord, you shall bring your offering of cattle, even of the herd, or flock, [have] him offer a male without blemish.

He shall offer it of his [own free will] at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord. He shall put his hand on the head of [animal for] the burnt offering & kill the bull, [sheep, or goat] on the north side of the] altar before the Lord & the priests.

It will be accepted for him to make atonement for [himself.] The priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood & sprinkle it [all around] upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. He shall filet the burnt offering & cut it into pieces. 

The priest, the son of Aaron, shall put fire upon the altar & lay the wood in order upon the fire. The priests shall lay the parts, head, & fat in order upon the wood on the fire, which is upon the altar. But he shall wash the [internal parts] & legs with water.

The priest shall burn all [these] on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet [aroma] to the Lord. If his burnt offering [is] of flocks, of sheep, or of goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring [males] without blemish. And he shall kill it on the [north] side of the altar before the Lord. 

And the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle [its] blood upon the altar. He shall cut it into pieces, with [its] head & fat. The priest shall lay them in order on the wood, that is on the fire, which is upon the altar. But he shall wash the [internal] parts & legs with water. The priest shall bring it all & burn it upon the altar. It is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet [aroma] to the Lord.

And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the Lord [is] of [birds,] then he shall bring Turtle Doves or young pigeons [without blemish.] The priest shall bring it to the altar & wring off [its] head & [burn] it on the altar. [Its] blood should be wrung out [& drained on] the side of the altar.

He shall [remove its] crop with [its] feathers & cast it beside the east side of the altar, by  the place [for] the ashes. Then he shall [cut] it with [its] wings, but shall not divide it [apart completely.] The priests shall burn it on the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire. It is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made of fire, a sweet [aroma] to the Lord.
