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.

The Boundaries of the Promised Land

Numbers 34:1-29          The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Command the children [people] of Israel & say to them, When you come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall [as] an inheritance to you, even the land of Canaan & [its] coasts.) 

Then, your [southern] quarter shall be from the Wilderness of Zin along the [coastal border] of Edom. Your south border shall be the [outer] coast of the Salt Sea [a.k.a. Dead Sea,] eastward.

And your border shall turn from the south to the Ascent of Akrabbim & pass on to Zin. Going [on from there] shall be from the south to Kadesh Barnea. [You] shall go on to Hazar Addar & pass on to Azmon. 

And the border shall [turn from] Azmon to the river of Egypt & going out of it shall be at the sea. As for your western border, you shall even have the Great Sea [a.k.a. Mediterranean Sea] for your west border. 

This shall be your north border: from the Great Sea, shall [be in a line to] Mount Hor. From Mount Hor [shall be in a line to] the entrance of Hamath. Going [on from there,] the border shall be to Zedad. 

The border shall go on to Ziphron. Going [on from there] shall be [to] Hazar Enan & this shall be your north border. You shall [make a line from Hazar Enan to] Shepham. 

The [coastal border] shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain. The border [will go down] & shall reach the side of the Sea of Chinnereth [a.k.a. Sea of Galilee,] eastward. 

And the border shall go down to [the] Jordan [River] & going [on from there] shall end at the Salt Sea [a.k.a. Dead Sea.] This shall be your land [with its coastal borders around it.] 

Moses commanded the children [people] of Israel, saying, This is the land [that] you shall inherit by lot, [that] the Lord commanded to give to the 9 1/2 tribes.

For the tribe of the children [people] of Reuben & children [people] of Gad & 1/2 of the tribe of Manasseh, according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance.

The 2 1/2 tribes have received their inheritance on this side [of the] Jordan [River,] near Jericho, eastward, toward the [sunrise.]

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, These are the names of the men [who] shall divide the land to you: Eleazar, the priest, & Joshua, [Nun’s] son. You shall take 1 prince [from] every tribe, to divide the land [as an] inheritance.

These are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, [Jephunneh’s] son. Of the tribe of the children [people] of Simeon, Shemuel, [Ammihud’s] son. Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad, [Chislon’s] son. 

The prince of the tribe of the [people] of Dan, Bukki, [Jogli’s] son. The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the [people] of Manasseh, Hanniel, [Ephod’s] son. 

The prince of the tribe of the [people] of Ephraim, Kemuel, [Shiphtan’s] son. The prince of the tribe of the [people] of Zebulun, Elizaphan, [Parnach’s] son. The prince of the tribe of the [people] of Issachar, Paltiel, [Azzan’s] son. 

The prince of the tribe of the [people] of Asher, Ahihud, [Shelomi’s] son. The prince of the tribe of the [people] of Naphtali, Pedahel, [Ammihud’s] son. These are whom the Lord commanded to divide the inheritance to the children [people] of Israel in the land of Canaan.
