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 36:1-13 Inheritance Rules for Someone Who Only has Daughters

 

Inheritance Rules for Someone Who Only has Daughters

Numbers 36:1-13           The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

The chief fathers of the families of Gilead, [who was] the son of Machir, [which was] the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near & [spoke] before Moses & the princes & chief fathers of the children [people] of Israel. 

They said, The Lord commanded [you,] my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel & [you were also] commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad, our brother, to his daughters. 

If they [become] married to any of the sons of the other tribes of Israel, then their inheritance shall be taken from the inheritance of our fathers & shall be put [with] the inheritance of the tribe [they marry in to.]

So, it [would] be taken from the lot of our inheritance. And when the jubilee of the children [people] of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be [added with] the inheritance of the tribe [they marry in to.] 

So, their inheritance shall be taken away from the [total] inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. Moses commanded the children [people] of Israel, according to the Word of the Lord, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph have said [correctly.] 

This is the thing [that] the Lord [commands] concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry who they think best, [but] they shall [only marry within] the tribe of their father.

So, the inheritance of the [people] of Israel shall not be removed from [one] tribe to [another] tribe. For [all] the [people] of Israel shall keep to [themselves] the inheritance of the tribe of [their] fathers.

Every daughter, [who possesses] an inheritance in any tribe of the [people] of Israel, shall be [the] wife of [someone in] her [father’s] tribe. [This way,] the children [people] of Israel, shall [all] enjoy the inheritance of his fathers.

Neither shall the inheritance [move] from 1 tribe to another tribe. But everyone of the tribes of the [people] of Israel, shall keep his own inheritance. Even [like] the Lord commanded Moses, [Zelophehad’s] daughters did.

For Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah & Noah, [Zelophehad’s] daughters, were married to the sons of their father’s [relatives.] They were married to the families of the sons of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, & their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father. 

These are the commandments & judgments [that] the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses to the children [people] of Israel, in the plains of Moab, by [the] Jordan [River] near Jericho.
