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 15:1-41 When They Sin Unintentionally

 

When They Sin Unintentionally

Numbers 15:1-41                          The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the children [people] of Israel & say to them, When you come into the land [I’m giving] you to [live in], [you] will take [from] the herd or the flock to make a burnt offering by fire to the Lord, or a sacrifice [fulfilling] a vow, or a freewill offering, or [during] your solemn feasts, to make a sweet [aroma] to the Lord.

Then shall [the person who makes] his offering to the Lord, bring a [meat/grain] offering of 1/10 deal of flour mingled with 1/4 of a hin of oil. And 1/4 of a hin of wine for a drink offering, you shall prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for 1 lamb.

For a ram, you shall prepare 2/10 deals of flour mingled with 1/3 of a hin of oil for a [meat/grain] offering. For a drink offering, you shall offer 1/3 part of a hin of wine, for a sweet [aroma] to the Lord. 

When you prepare the bull for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in [fulfilling] a vow, or peace offerings to the Lord: Then he shall bring with the bull a [meat/grain] offering of 3/10 deals of flour mingled with 1/2 hin of oil. 

You shall bring for the drink offering 1/2 hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, or a sweet [aroma] to the Lord. [This] shall be done for 1 bull, 1 ram, or a lamb or a kid [goat]. You shall do this for every [animal], according to [how many] you [prepare].

All [native born Israelites] shall prepare [their] offering made by fire, [for] a sweet [aroma] to the Lord, after this manner. If a stranger [stays] with you, or [whoever is] among you [during] your generations & [wants] to make an offering made by fire, [for] a sweet [aroma] to the Lord, shall do [exactly] as you do. 

[There] shall be 1 ordinance for both you of the congregation & the stranger who stays with you, forever in your generations before the Lord. [The same types] of laws [& rules] are for the [Israelites] & the strangers among them. 

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children [people] of Israel & say to them, When you come into the land [where] I am bringing you & when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a heave offering to the Lord. You shall offer a cake of the 1st of your dough for a heave offering to the Lord & you shall heave it [like] you do the heave offerings of the threshing floor, [throughout] your generations. 

If you [haven’t done] all these commandments which the Lord has [ordered] Moses & have erred, then it shall be, if it was committed in ignorance without the congregation [being aware of it],

Then all the congregation shall offer 1 young bull for a burnt offering, for a sweet [aroma] to the Lord, with [its] [meat/grain] & drink offerings & 1 kid [goat] for a sin offering, according to the [rules]. 

The priest shall make atonement for [the whole Israelite community] & it shall be forgiven them. For [they did it] in ignorance & they shall bring before the Lord their offering made by fire & their sin offering for their [mistakes]. All the [Israelite] congregation & the stranger [who stays] with them shall be forgiven, [since] it was done in ignorance. 

If any [person] shall sin [unintentionally], then he shall bring a 1 year old [female] goat for a sin offering. The priest shall make an atonement for the person [who] sinned [unintentionally] before the Lord & he shall be forgiven. 

You shall have 1 law for both [those born] of the [Israelites] & the stranger [who stays] among you, [who] sins [unintentionally]. But the [person who [defiantly does wrong] whether he is a [native-born Israelite] or a stranger & blasphemes [insults] the Lord [God], shall be cut off from his people, because he has despised the word of the Lord & has broken His commandment. 

That person’s [guilt] shall be upon him & he shall be utterly cut off [from his people]. While the [people] of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man [who] gathered sticks on the Sabbath day. [Those who] found him, brought him to Moses & Aaron & to all the congregation.

They kept him [under guard], because it [hadn’t been] declared what [to do] to him. The Lord said to Moses, The man shall surely be [stoned] to death, by the congregation [outside] the camp. All the camp did so & he died, as the Lord commanded Moses. 

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the [people] of Israel & [tell] them to make fringes with a [band] of blue [on] the borders of their [clothing] throughout their generations. When you look upon the fringe, you may remember the [Lord’s] commandments & do them. 

And you aren’t to be [unfaithful, going after the desires] of your own heart & eyes [which have led you astray]. Remember & do all My commandments & be holy to your God. I am the Lord, your God, [who] brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am the Lord your God.
