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 24:1-23 Penalties for Blaspheming the Lord or for Killing

 

Penalties for Blaspheming the Lord or for Killing

Leviticus 24:1-23          The Third Book of Moses Called Leviticus

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Command the children [people] of Israel, [so] they bring pure beaten olive oil to you for the light, [so] it can burn continually [outside] the veil of the Testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation. 

Aaron shall [be in charge] & order the lamps on the pure [gold] candlestick [to stay lit] from evening to morning, before the Lord continually. It shall be a [mandate] forever in your generations. 

You shall take fine flour & bake 12 cakes [with it using] 2/10 of an [ephah in each] cake. They shall [be] set in 2 rows of 6, on a pure table before the Lord. You shall put pure frankincense on each row [of] bread for a memorial, an offering made by fire to the Lord. 

Every Sabbath, [Aaron] shall set it in order before the Lord continually, being taken from the children [people] of Israel by an everlasting covenant [contract.] It [is for Aaron] & his sons & they shall eat it in the holy place; for it is most holy to him [from] the offerings of the Lord made by fire [as] a perpetual [mandate.]

The son of an [Israelite] woman, [Shelomith,] whose father was an Egyptian, (and his mother was [Debri’s] daughter of the tribe of Dan. The son of the [Israelite] woman went among the [people] of Israel. [Her] son & an [Israelite] man [fought] together in the camp.

The [Israelite] woman’s son blasphemed the Name of the Lord & cursed. They brought him to Moses & they put him [under guard, until] the mind of the Lord might be [shown] to them.

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Bring [out] the one [who] has cursed [outside] the camp & let all [who] heard him lay their hands on his head [while] all the congregation [stones] him. 

[Then] you shall speak to the [people] of Israel, saying, [Whoever] curses his God shall bear his sin & he [who] blasphemes the Name of the Lord, shall surely be put to death & all the congregation shall certainly stone him, [as well as] the stranger [who] is born in the land. When he blasphemes the Name of the Lord, he shall be put to death.

[Whoever] kills any man, shall surely be put to death. He [who] kills [an animal] shall make it good; [& replace animal for animal.] If a man [causes a disfiguring injury, to] his neighbor, [the same] shall be done to him; [fracture for fracture,] eye for eye, tooth for tooth, as he has caused, it shall be done to him, [as well.] 

He [who] kills [an animal] shall restore it & he [who] kills a man, shall be put to death. You shall have one [type] of law for the stranger, as well [as, for someone from] your own country. 

For I am the Lord your God. Moses [spoke] to the children [people] of Israel, that they should bring [the person out, who] cursed out of the camp & stone him. The [people] of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.
