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.

Jacob’s Sons Accused of Stealing Joseph’s Silver Cup

Jacob’s Sons Accused of Stealing Joseph’s Silver Cup

Genesis  44:1-34               The First Book of Moses Called Genesis

[Joseph] commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry & to [secretly] put their money in the mouths of [their sacks.] And put my silver cup [with the money] in the sack of the youngest & he did [so]. [When] morning [dawned, they] were sent away [with their donkeys & grain.] 

When they weren’t far [from] the city, Joseph had his steward, [Catch up with] them & [ask, Why] have you rewarded [me] evil for good? Isn't this my [lord's] drinking cup, he [uses for divining?] You have done evil, in doing [this.]

[The steward caught up to] them & spoke [those] same words to them. And they said to him, [Why would] my lord say these [things?] God forbid that your servants [would] do [something like] this. 

[You saw] we brought back the [other] money we found in the mouth of our sacks again, [when we returned from] the land of Canaan, [so why would] we steal silver or gold from our lord’s house?

[Whichever] of your servants [the silver cup is found] let him die & we will also be my lord's [slaves.] [The steward agreed] & said, Let it now be according to your words. With [whomever] it is found, shall be my [slave] & you shall be [without blame.]

Then, every man speedily took his sack down to the ground & opened his sack. And [the steward] searched the sacks from the [oldest] & [stopped] at the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.

Then, they [tore] their clothes & [loaded up] their [donkeys] & returned to the city. [When they] came to Joseph’s house, he was [still] there & they fell [down] before him on the ground. And Joseph [asked,] What deed is this that you’ve done? 

[Didn’t you know] that someone [of my importance] can certainly divine? Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? What [words] shall we speak? Or how shall we clear ourselves? 

God has found out the [sin] of your servants. [See,] we are my lord's servants, both [us] & he with whom the cup [was] found. [But Joseph told them, God forbid that I should do [this; but only the person who had] the cup, will be my servant & the rest [go] home to your father in peace. 

Then, Judah came near to [Joseph & said, oh, my lord, I pray [that] you let your servant speak a word in my lord's ears. And [don't] let your anger burn against your servant: for you are even [like] Pharaoh. 

[You,] my lord, asked his servants, [Do] you have a father or brother? And we said, We have a father, an old man & a child of his old age, [who is young] & his brother is dead. And he alone is left of his mother & his father loves him. And you said to your servants, Bring him down to me, [so] I may [put] my eyes upon him.

And we said to my lord, The lad can't leave his father, for if he [leaves,] his father would die. And you said to your servants, [Unless] your youngest brother comes down with you, you shall [not] see my face [anymore.] 

It [happened] when we came to my father, we told him [what you said.] and our father said, Go again & buy us a little food. And we said, We can't go down: if our youngest brother [isn't] with us.  

Our father [Jacob a.k.a. Israel] said, My wife [Rachel] [bore me] 2 sons & one went out from me & is surely torn in pieces & I have not seen him since. And if you take this [lad] from me & mischief [befalls] him, then you shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

Therefore, when I come to my father & the lad [isn't] with us; [in that] his life is bound up in the lad's life, it shall [happen] when he sees [he] isn't with us, he will die & your servants shall bring down the gray hairs of our father with sorrow to the grave.

[So, I] became [responsible] for the lad [for] my father & said, If I [don’t] bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever. Therefore, I pray [that] you, let [me stay here as a slave] instead of [the lad & let the lad go up with his [brothers.] 

For how shall I go up to my father & the lad [isn’t] with me? Lest I see [what] evil shall come [of] my father.
