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 9:1-24 Aaron & His Sons Make Atonement for the Israelites

 

Aaron & His Sons Make Atonement for the Israelites

Leviticus 9:1-24    The Third Book of Moses Called Leviticus

It [happened,] on the 8th day, that Moses called Aaron, his sons & the elders of Israel & said to Aaron, Take for [yourself] a young calf for a sin offering & a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish & offer them before the Lord. 

You shall speak to the children [people] of Israel & [say,] Take a kid goat for a sin offering & calf & a lamb, both of the 1st year & without blemish, for a burnt offering; Also a [bull] & a ram as a Peace Offering to sacrifice before the Lord & a [meat/grain] offering [mixed] with oil, for today the Lord will appear to you.

They brought [what] Moses commanded [in front of] the tabernacle of the congregation & all the congregation drew near & stood before the Lord. Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord commanded you [to] do & the glory of the Lord will appear to you.

Moses [told] Aaron, Go to the altar & offer your sin offering & burnt offering & make atonement yourself & for the people. Offer the offering of the people & make atonement for them, as the Lord commanded. Aaron went to the altar & [killed] the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.

[Aaron’s] sons brought the blood to him & [Aaron] dipped his finger in the blood & put it on the horns of the altar & poured the blood at the bottom of the altar: But the fat, the kidneys & the [fatty lobe] above the liver of the sin offering, he [burned] on the altar, as the Lord commanded Moses. The flesh & the hide, he burned with fire [outside] the camp. 

He [killed] the burnt offering & Aaron’s sons presented to him the blood which he sprinkled [all around] the altar. [Then,] they presented the burnt offering to him, with [its] pieces & head & he burned them on the altar. He washed the entrails & legs & burned them on the altar. And he [washed] the [internal parts] & legs & [burned] them upon the burnt offering on the altar.

[Then] he brought the people’s offering & took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people & [killed] it & offered it for sin, [like] the 1st [one.] And he brought the burnt offering & offered it according to the  [appropriate] manner. [Then] he brought the [meat/grain] offering & took a handful [of it] & [burned] it on the altar, [in addition to] the burnt sacrifice of the morning. 

He also [killed] the [bull] & the ram for a sacrifice of [the] Peace Offerings, which [were] for the people. Aaron’s sons presented the blood to him, which he  sprinkled [all around] on the altar, The fat [from] the bull & ram, the rump & the fat that covers the [internal parts] & kidneys & the fatty lobe above the liver, they put the fat upon the breasts.

He burned the fat on the altar, [but] the breasts & the right shoulder, Aaron waved [as] a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses had commanded. [Then] Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people & blessed them & came down from offering the sin offering, the burnt offering & the Peace Offerings.

And Moses & Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation & came out & blessed the people.  [Then] the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people & fire came out from before the Lord & consumed the burnt offering & the fat on the altar. When all the people saw [it,] they shouted & fell on their faces.
