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 9:1-23 Keeping the Second Passover Celebration

 

Keeping the Second Passover Celebration

Numbers 9:1-23             The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers   

The Lord [spoke] to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the 1st month of the 2nd year after they [came] out of the land of Egypt, saying, Let the children [people] of Israel keep the Passover at [its] appointed [time.]

[On] the 14th day of this month, at [evening,] you shall keep [the Passover,] according to [its customs] & ceremonies. Moses [told] the [people] of Israel, that they they should keep the Passover. 

They kept the Passover on the 14th day of the 1st month at [evening] in the Wilderness of Sinai, according to all the Lord commanded Moses. There were [some] men who were defiled by [a] dead [man’s] body & couldn’t keep the Passover on that day. They came before Moses & Aaron that day. 

Those men said to [Moses,] We are defiled by the dead body of a man. [Why] are we kept back, [where] we [can’t make] an offering [to] the Lord [at its] appointed [time with] the children [people] of Israel? 

Moses said to them, Stand still & I will [listen] to what the Lord will command [about] you. The Lord [said] to Moses, saying, [Say] to the [people] of Israel, If any [of you or your descendants are] unclean, [because] of a dead body, or [are on a long] journey, he shall [still] keep the Passover to the Lord. 

The 14th day of the 2nd month at [evening,] they shall keep it & eat it with unleavened bread & bitter herbs. * They shall leave none of it [until] the morning, nor break any bone of it. They shall keep it according to all the [rules] of the Passover.

[John 19:33-36 But when they came to Jesus & saw He was dead already, they [didn't break] His legs. But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side & [immediately] blood & water came out. And he [who] saw it, bare record & his [testimony] is true: [so] that you believe. For these things were don, [so] that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of Him, shall not be broken.]

But the man [who] is clean & isn’t [on] a journey & doesn’t keep the Passover, [that person] shall be cut off from his people & bear his [guilt,] because he [didn’t bring] the offering of the Lord in [its] appointed [time.] 

If a stranger shall [stay] among you & [wants] to keep the Passover to the Lord; he must do according to the [Passover’s rules & regulations.] You shall have [the same ruleules] for the stranger, [as for those] born in [this] land. 

On the day the tabernacle was [put] up, the cloud [of the Lord,] covered the tent of the Testimony, of the tabernacle by day & the appearance of fire [covered it,] until morning. [Always] the cloud covered it by day & the appearance of fire [by night. 

When the cloud was [lifted] from the tabernacle, [afterward,] [afterward] the children [people] of Israel journeyed. [When] the cloud [stayed,] the [people] of Israel pitched their tents there.

At the [Lord’s command,] the [people] of Israel journeyed & at the [Lord’s command,] they pitched [their tents] & rested in their tents, as long as the cloud [was on] the tabernacle. When the cloud [continued there] many days, then then the [people] of Israel, did according to the [Lord’s order] & [didn’t]] journey.

So it was, when the cloud was [only] on the tabernacle [for] a few days, according to the [Lord’s command,] they [stayed] in their tents & at the [Lord’s command] they journeyed.

[Even] when the cloud [stayed ] from [evening until] morning & the cloud was [lifted] up in the morning, they journeyed. Whether it was by day or by night, [when] the cloud was [lifted] up, they journeyed.

Whether it [was for] 2 days, 1 month, or 1 year, that the cloud [stayed] on the tabernacle & [remained on it,] the [people] of Israel [stayed] in their tents & [didn’t journey.] But [when the cloud was lifted] up, they journeyed.

At the [Lord’s command] they rested in the tents & at the [Lord’s command] they journeyed. They kept the Lord’s [order, as] the Lord [commanded,] by the hand of Moses.
