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.

Numbers 15:1-41 When They Sin Unintentionally

 

When They Sin Unintentionally 

Numbers 15:1-41                          The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the children [people] of Israel & say to them, When you come into the land [I’m giving] you to [live in] & will make an offering by fire to the Lord; a burnt offering; a sacrifice [for carrying out] a vow; a freewill offering; or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet [aroma] to the Lord, [from] the herd or the flock.

Then shall [the person who makes] his offering to the Lord, bring a [meat/grain] offering of 1/10 deal of flour [mixed] with 1/4 of a hin of oil. And 1/4 of a hin of wine for a drink offering, you shall prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for 1 lamb.

For a ram, you shall prepare for a [meat/grain] offering: 2/10 deals of flour [mixed] with 1/3 of a hin of oil for a [meat/grain] offering. For a drink offering, you shall offer 1/3 part of a hin of wine, for a sweet [aroma] to the Lord. 

When you prepare the [bull] for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in [fulfilling] a vow, or Peace Offerings to the Lord: Then he shall bring with the [bull] a [meat/grain] offering of 3/10 deals of flour [mixd] with 1/2 hin of oil. 

You shall bring for the drink offering 1/2 hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, [for] a sweet [aroma] to the Lord. [This] shall be done for 1 [bull,] 1 ram, or a lamb or a kid [goat.] You shall do this for every [animal,] according to [how many] you prepare.

All [native born Israelites] shall do these things, [according to the custom] in [presenting] an offering made by fire, [for] a sweet [aroma] to the Lord. If a stranger [stays temporarily] with you, or [whoever is] among you [during] your generations & [wants] to make an offering made by fire, [for] a sweet [aroma] to the Lord, he shall do [exactly] as you do. 

[There] shall be 1 [rule] for both you of the congregation & the stranger who stays with you, a [rule] forever in your generations before the Lord. One law & 1 [custom] shall be for you & for the granger [who temporarily stays] with you.

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the children [people] of Israel & say to them, When you come into the land [where] I [am bringing] you & when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a heave offering to the Lord. You shall offer up a cake of the 1st of your dough for a heave offering: [like] you do the heave offerings of the threshing floor. You shall heave it [the same way.]

You shall give to the Lord a heave offering, of the 1st of your dough, [throughout] your generations. If you [haven’t done] all these commandments which the Lord has spoken to Moses & you have erred, even all that the Lord has commanded you [at] the hand of Moses, from the [1st] day the Lord commanded Moses & forward, [throughout] your generations, then it shall be, [as] if [it was] committed [in] ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation.

[Then,] all the congregation shall offer 1 young [bull] for a burnt offering, for a sweet [aroma] to the Lord, with [its meat/grain] offering & [its] drink offering & 1 kid [goat] for a sin offering, according to the [custom.] 

The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children [people] of Israel & it shall be forgiven them. For [they did it in] ignorance & they shall bring before the Lord, their offering, a sacrifice made by fire to the Lord & their sin offering for their ignorance, before the Lord. All the congregation of the [people] of Israel & the stranger [who temporarily stays] with them, shall be forgiven, [since] all the people have done this] in ignorance. 

If any [person] shall sin in ignorance, [unintentionally,] then he shall bring a 1 year old [female] goat for a sin offering. The priest shall make an atonement for the person [who] sinned [unintentionally,] before the Lord, to make atonement for him & [he] shall be forgiven. 

You shall have 1 law for both [those born] of the [Israelites] & the stranger [who temporarily stays] among you, [those who] sin [unintentionally.] But the [person who defiantly does wrong,] whether he is a [native-born Israelite,] or a stranger, [those] same [who disgraces] the Lord [God,] shall be cut off from among his people, because he has despised the Word of the Lord & has broken His commandment. 

That person’s [guilt] shall be upon him & he shall be [totally] cut off [from his people.] While the [people] of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man [who] gathered sticks on the Sabbath day. [Those who] found him, brought him to Moses & Aaron & to all the congregation.

They kept him [under guard,] because it [hadn’t been] declared what [to do] to him. The Lord said to Moses, The man shall surely be [stoned] to death, by the congregation [outside] the camp. All the congregation brought him [outside] the camp & stoned him & he died, as the Lord commanded Moses. 

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the [people] of Israel & [tell] them [to] make fringes with a [band] of blue [on] the borders of their [clothing] throughout their generations. [When] you look upon the fringe, you may remember the [Lord’s] commandments & do them. 

[So] that you [don’t] seek after your own heat & [with] your own eyes, use [them] to [be like unfaithful harlots.] [Numbers 25:1-2 And Israel [remained] in Shittim & the people began to commit [harlotry] with the daughters of Moab. And they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods & the people did eat & bowed down to their gods.]  [So,] you remember & do all My commandments & be holy to your God. I am the Lord, your God, [Who] brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am the Lord your God.
