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 15:1-33 What Shall be Done for Those With a Discharge

 

What Shall be Done for Those With a Discharge

Leviticus 15:1-33          The Third Book of Moses Called Leviticus

The Lord [spoke] to Moses & Aaron, saying, [Say] to the children [people] of Israel, When any man has a [discharge from his body,] his [discharge] is unclean.

This shall be his uncleanness [in regard to his discharge:] whether his [body] runs with his [discharge] or his [body] is stopped [up] by his [discharge,] it is his uncleanness. Every bed is unclean [that the person] with a discharge lies upon & everything he [sits on] shall be unclean.

[Whoever] touches his bed, sits on [anything] he sat on, touches the [skin] of the person with the [discharge,], or is spit upon, or rides on the same saddle as [the person with a discharge,] or touches or [carries] any things that were under [the person with a discharge] shall wash their clothes & bathe in water & will be unclean until [evening.]

[Whoever] touches [a person with a discharge] & hasn’t rinsed his hands in water, shall wash their hands & bathe in water & wash their clothes & be unclean until [evening.] The earthen [clay] vessel of the person with a [discharge] shall be broken & every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.

When the person is cleansed of his [discharge,] he shall [count] 7 days [for his] cleansing & wash his clothes & bathe [his body] in running water & shall be clean. 

On the 8th day, he shall take 2 turtle doves or 2 young pigeons & come before the Lord to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation & give them to the priest. The priest shall offer 1 [bird] as a sin offering & the other for a burnt offering. [So,] the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, [because of] his [discharge.] 

If any man has an [emission of semen, that goes] out from him, then he shall wash his [body] & [every] garments or [leather] in water & be unclean until evening. Also, if a woman lies with a man & [who has an emission of semen,] they shall [both] bathe in water & be unclean until [evening.] 

If a woman has a [discharge] from her [body] that is blood, she shall be [set] apart 7 days & whoever touches her, everything she lies on & [sits] on or is on them & [whoever] touches [any of those items] shall be unclean until [evening] & shall wash their clothes & bathe in water. And everything that she lies upon in her [period] of separation, shall be unclean & [whoever] touches her bed, shall wash his clothes & bathes himself in water & be unclean until the [evening.]

If any man [lies] with her at all & her [monthly blood] is on him, he shall be unclean for 7 days & his bed he lies [on.] If a woman has a [discharge] of blood for many days [other than] her [monthly impurity of blood] or it runs beyond her usual [monthly amount of] days of separation, she shall be unclean.

Every bed she lies on or sits on [during her separation] shall be unclean [like]  the [her customary separation.] [Whoever] touches those things shall wash his clothes & bathe in water & shall be unclean until [evening.]

If she [is] cleansed of her [discharge,] she shall [count] 7 days & after that she shall be clean. On the 8th day, she shall take 2 turtle doves or 2 young pigeons & bring them to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

The priest shall offer 1 [bird] as a sin offering & the other for a burnt offering & the priest shall make atonement for her before the Lord for the [discharge] of her uncleanness. 

Thus you shall separate the children [people] of Israel from their uncleanness, [so] they don’t die in their uncleanness & they don’t defile My tabernacle that is among them. 

This is the law [for those who] have a [discharge] & [those who emit semen] & is defiled [with it] & to her [who has her customary monthly impurity] & for [either] a man or woman who has a [discharge] & for him who lies with her [while] she is unclean.
