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 27:1-23 Passing on the Inheritance When There is No Son

 

Passing on the Inheritance When There is No Son

Numbers 27:1-23                The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

Then the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, [who was] the son of Gilead, [who was] the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, came & their names are: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah & Tirzah. 

They stood before Moses, Eleazar, the priest, the princes & all the congregation by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, Our father died in the wilderness & he [wasn’t a part of Korah’s] company [who] gathered themselves together against the Lord, but [he died of] his own sin & had no sons. 

Why should the name of my father [disappear] from among his family, because he had no [sons?] Therefore, give us a possession among our [father’s] brethren. Moses brought their cause before the Lord. 

And the Lord [said] to Moses, [Zelophehad’s] daughters [speak correctly.] You shall surely give them a possession [for] an inheritance among their father’s brethren. You shall cause their father’s inheritance to pass on to them.

You shall [say] to the children [people] of Israel, saying, If a man [dies] & doesn’t have a son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter. If he [doesn’t] have a daughter, you shall give his inheritance to his [father’s] brethren. 

If he [doesn’t have any] brethren, you shall give it to his next [of kin] of his family & he shall possess it. It shall be a [mandate] of judgment [for] the children [people] of Israel, as the Lord commanded Moses. 

The Lord [said] to Moses, [Go] up to Mount Abarim & see the land which I have given to the children [people] of Israel. And when you have seen it, you will also be gathered to your people [in death, like] Aaron, your brother was.

For you [both] rebelled against My [command] in the Desert of Zin, when the congregation [quarreled] & you failed to sanctify Me, at the [waters] of Meribah, in Kadesh, before their eyes.

Moses [spoke] to the Lord, saying, Let the Lord God, [Who gives breath to] all flesh, set a man over the congregation, [who] may go out before them & may go in before them & [leads] them out & [brings] them in, [so] the congregation of the Lord [won’t be like] sheep [without a] shepherd. 

The Lord [said] to Moses, Take Joshua, [Nun’s] son, a man in whom is the Spirit & lay your hand upon him. [Put] him before Eleazar, the priest & before all the congregation & [put] him [in] charge in their sight. 

You shall put some of your honor [authority] upon him, so all the congregation of the [people] of Israel, may [obey him.] He shall stand before Eleazar, the priest, who shall ask  counsel for him, [related to] the judgment of the Urim before the Lord. 

At [Joshua’s] word, they shall go out & at his word, they shall come in, both he & even all the children [people] of Israel & [the whole] congregation with him.

Moses did as the Lord commanded him & took Joshua & set him before Eleazar, the priest & before all the congregation. [Moses] laid his hands upon [Joshua] & [put] him [in] charge, as the Lord commanded, by the hand of Moses.
