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 12:1-8 Having a Male Child Circumcised

 

Having a Male Child Circumcised

Leviticus 12:1-8        The Third Book of Moses Called Leviticus

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the children [people] of Israel, saying, If a woman has conceived & bore a male child, then she shall be unclean 7 days; according to the [amount of] days of separation for her [during] the days of her [monthly] infirmity, she shall be unclean. 

[On] the 8th day, the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. Then, she shall continue in the blood of her [purification] 33 days. She shall not touch any hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her [purification are] fulfilled.

But if she [bears] a [female] child, then she shall be unclean for 2 weeks, [like] in her separation. She shall continue in the blood of her [purification] for 66 days. 

When the days of her [purification] are [complete,] whether for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb in its 1st year to the priest for a burnt offering & a young pigeon or a turtle dove as a sin offering, to the priest [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 

[The priest] shall offer it before the Lord and make an [atonement] for her & she shall be cleansed from the [flow] of her blood. This is the law for her [who] has [given birth to] a male or female child.

And if she [isn’t] able to bring a lamb, then she may bring 2 turtle [doves] or 2 young pigeons, 1 as a burnt offering & the other [one] for a sin offering. The priest shall make atonement for her & she shall be clean.
