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 7:1-38 The Laws for Different Types of Offerings

 

The Laws for Different Types of Offerings

Leviticus 7:1-38                    The Third Book of Moses Called Leviticus

[The Lord God said to Moses,] [Similarly,] this is the law of the trespass offering: it is Most Holy. In the [same] place where the burnt offering [animal] is [killed,] they shall kill the trespass offering [animal] & the blood [of it] the [priest] shall sprinkle [around on] the altar.

He shall offer all the fat [of it]; the rump & the fat that covers the [internal parts] & the 2 kidneys & the fat on them by the flanks & the [fatty lobe] that is above the liver, with the kidneys & he shall take it away. The priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire to the Lord: It is a trespass offering.

Every male among the [priest's family] may eat [of it,] It shall be eaten in a Holy Place. It is Most Holy. [Just as] the sin offering is [done,] so shall the trespass offering [be done.] There is one law for them [both.] The priest [who] makes atonement [with it,] shall have it.  The priest [who] offers any man’s burnt offering, [that] priest shall have [it] to himself & the skin of the burnt offering he has offered.

All the [meat/grain] offering baked in an oven, all that is [prepared] in a frying pan & in a pan, shall [belong] to the priest [who] offered it. Every [meat/grain] offering, [either mixed] with oil [or] dry [without oil,] shall [belong] to all Aaron’s sons, one as much as another. 

This is the law of the sacrifice of Peace Offerings, which he shall offer to the Lord. If he [offers] it [in giving thanks,] then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, unleavened cakes [mixed] with oil, unleavened, wafers [sprinkled] with oil & cakes of fine flour [mixed] with oil & fried.

[In addition to] the cakes, he shall offer, for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving [from] his Peace Offerings. Of it, he shall offer one [each] out of the whole [offering] for the Heave Offering to the Lord & it shall be the priest’s [who] sprinkles the blood of the Peace Offerings. The [sacrificed meat] of his Peace Offerings for thanksgiving, shall be eaten the same day it is offered & not left until morning. 

But if the sacrifice of his offering [is for] a vow or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he [offers] his sacrifice & on the [next day] the [rest of it] shall be eaten. The [what’s left] shall be burnt with fire on the 3rd day.

If any of the flesh [meat] of his sacrifice [for] his Peace Offering [hasn’t been eaten] by the 3rd day, it shall not be accepted & is an abomination [because rotting starts] & the [person who offered it will be responsible] & the [person who] eats it will bear his [guilt.]

The flesh [meat] that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten & shall be burnt with fire. [If] the [cooked] flesh [meat that hasn’t become defiled,] all [who] are clean [priest & family] may eat it.

But [the person who] eats of the flesh [meat] of the sacrifice of the Peace Offerings, that pertain to the Lord, [while having an] uncleanness upon him, shall be cut off from his people.

[Also, if someone touches] any unclean thing, [like] the uncleanness of: man, beast,  or any abominable unclean thing & eats the flesh [meat] of the sacrifice of Peace Offerings, which pertain to the Lord, shall be cut off from his people.

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the children [people] of Israel, saying, You shall not eat [any type] of fat of [the:] ox, sheep, or goat. The fat of the beast that dies [on its own,] or the fat of [the animal] torn [by a beast,] may be used [for other things,] but [may not be eaten.] [Whoever] eats the fat of the beast, [that] men [sacrifice as] an offering made by fire to the Lord, shall be cut off from his people.

[Also,] you shall not eat [any type] of blood, whether it’s of [birds] or [animals,] in any of your dwellings. [The person who eats anything with the blood,] shall be cut off from his people.

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the [people] of Israel, saying, [The person who] offers the sacrifice of his Peace Offering to the Lord, made by fire, shall bring his [offering] to the Lord [from] his Peace Offerings, with his own hands, the fat with the breast, he shall bring, [so] that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.

The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast [of the offered animal] shall be Aaron’s & his sons’. And you shall give the right shoulder to the priest  for a heave offering [from] the sacrifices or your Peace Offerings. Among the sons of Aaron, [who] offers the blood of the Peace Offerings & the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his [portion.]

For I [the Lord God] have taken the wave breast & the heave shoulder [from] the children [people] of Israel [from] their sacrifices & of their Peace Offerings & have given them to Aaron, the priest & his sons by a statute forever.

This is Aaron’s & his sons’ [portion given to them by God on the day of their anointing] [from] the offerings [to] the Lord made by fire, when [they were] presented to minister to the Lord in the priest’s office.

[The] Lord commanded [these] to be given [to the priests from] the children [people] of Israel, [on] the day that he anointed them, by statute forever through their generations.

This is the law of: the burnt offering, sin offering, the [meat/grain] offering, sin offering, trespass offering & the consecrations & the sacrifice of Peace Offerings: which the Lord commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, in the wilderness of Sinai, [on] the day the [Lord God] commanded the children [people] of Israel to [bring their offerings] to the Lord.
