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.

Leviticus 4:1-35 Sin Offering Made to the Lord

 

Sin Offering to the Lord

Leviticus 4:1-35            The Third Book of Moses Called Leviticus

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the children [people] of Israel, saying, If a [person] shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord & [does] any of [those things that shouldn’t have been] done against any of them; 

[Or] if the anointed priest [sins] according to the sin of the people; then, let him bring a young [bull] without blemish for a sin offering, [for his sins.] And he shall bring the [bull] to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord. And [he] shall lay his hand upon the [bull’s] head & kill the [bull] before the Lord.

And the priest that is anointed shall take the [bull’s] blood & bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation. And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood & sprinkle the blood 7 times before the Lord [in front of] the [veil] of the sanctuary.

And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation & shall pour all the [remaining] blood of the [bull] at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

And he shall [cut] off from it all the fat of the [bull] for a sin offering. The fat that covers the [internal parts] & all the fat that is upon the [internal parts] & the 2 kidneys & the fat upon them, which is by the flanks & the [fatty lobe] above the liver with the kidneys.

He shall take it away [like] it was taken off from the [bull] of the sacrifice of [the] Peace Offerings. And the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering. And the skin of the [bull] & all his flesh, with his head, legs, [internal parts & feces,] he shall carry [outside] the camp to a clean place, even the whole [bull,] to where the ashes are poured out & [the bull] shall be burnt.  

[Or] if the whole congregation [sins] through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord & the thing is [hidden] from the eyes of the assembly & they have done [something that] shouldn’t be done & are guilty;

When the sin, which they have sinned against, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young [bull without blemish] for the sin & bring him [in front of] the tabernacle of the congregation. 

And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the [bull] before the Lord. And the [bull] shall be [killed] before the Lord. And the anointed priest shall bring [some] of the [bull’s] blood to the tabernacle of the congregation. And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood & sprinkle it 7 times before the Lord, even [in front of] the [veil.]

And [the priest] shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar, which is before the Lord, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation & shall pour out all the [remaining] blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 

And [the priest] shall take all [the bull’s] fat from him & burn it upon the altar. And he shall do with the [bull, just like] he did with the [bull] for a sin offering. He shall do so with this. 

And the priest shall make an atonement for them & [they] shall be forgiven. And he shall carry [out] the [bull outside] the came & burn him [like] he burned the 1st [bull.] It is a sin offering for the congregation.

[Or] when a ruler has sinned & done [something] through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord his God, concerning things that shouldn’t be done & is guilty; [Or] if [the ruler’s] sin comes to his knowledge, he shall bring a male kid goat without blemish for his offering. 

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat & kill it in the place where they kill the [animal of] the burnt offering before the Lord. It is a sin offering. and the priest shall take [some] of the blood of the sin offering with his finger & put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering & shall pour out [its] blood at the bottom of that altar of burnt offering.

And [the priest] shall burn all [its] fat upon the altar, [like] the fat of the sacrifice of the Peace Offerings. And the priest shall make atonement for [the ruler, related] to his sin & [he] shall be forgiven.

If any of the common people sin through ignorance & does [something] against any of the commandments of the Lord, [related to] things [that shouldn’t] be done & is guilty, [Or] if his sin, that he’s] sinned, [comes] to his knowledge, he shall bring his offering, a female, kid goat without blemish, for his sin which he has [done.]

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering & [kill] the [kid goat which is] the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering. And the priest shall take [some] of [its] blood with his finger & put it upon the horns of the altar of [the] burnt offering & shall pour out all the [remaining] blood at the bottom of the altar. 

And he shall take away all [its] fat, [like] the fat [was] taken away from the sacrifice of [the] Peace Offerings. And the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet [aroma] to the Lord. And the priest shall make an atonement for him & [he] shall be forgiven.

And if he [brings] a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish. And he shall lay his [hands] upon the head of the [animal of] the sin offering  & [kill] it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the [animal for the] burnt offering. 

And the priest shall take [some] of the blood of the sin offering with his finger & put it upon the horns of the altar of [the] burnt offering & shall pour out all the [remaining] blood at the bottom of the altar. And he shall take away all [its] fat, [like] the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the Peace Offerings.

And the priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire to the Lord. And the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he has committed & [he] shall be forgiven.
