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 3:1-17 Peace Offerings to the Lord

 

Peace Offerings to the Lord

Leviticus 3:1-17         The Third Book of Moses Called Leviticus

And if his [offering] is a Peace Offering sacrifice & if he offers it [from] the herd, whether it is a male or a female, he shall offer [the animal] without blemish before the Lord.

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering & kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation & Aaron & his sons, the priests, shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar [all around.] He shall offer the sacrifice of the Peace Offering made by fire, to the Lord.

He shall [cut] away: the fat [of the bull, lamb, or goat] that covers the [internal parts] & the fat on [them,] the 2 kidneys & the fat on them, which is by the flanks & the [fatty lobe] above the liver, with the kidneys. And Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood on the fire. It is [the food of the] offering made by fire, of a sweet [aroma] to the Lord. All the fat is the Lord’s.

[Except when] he shall offer the sacrifice of [a lamb as a] Peace Offering made by fire to the Lord. He shall [also cut] away: the fat [of it] & the whole fat rump, shall [be taken] off, [cut off close to] the backbone of the lamb & is burnt with the fat that covers & is upon the [internal parts.] And the 2 kidneys & the fat on them, which is by the flanks & the [fatty lobe] above the liver, with the kidneys.

The priest shall burn it upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire, to the Lord. It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that you eat neither fat nor blood. 

[Leviticus 7:22-27 And the Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, saying, You shall eat no [type] of fat [from an:] ox, sheep, [or] goat. And the fat of the [animal] that dies of itself & the fat of [the animal] torn by beasts, may be used [for] any other use, but you shall in no [way] eat it. For [whoever] eats the fat of the [animal,] of which men offer [as] an offering made by fire to the Lord, even the [person who] eats it, shall be cut off from the people. 

[Also,] you shall eat no [type] of blood, whether it [is] of your [birds or animals,] in any of your dwellings. [Any person who] eats any [type] of blood, even that [person] shall be cut off from his people.]
