About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible:

About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: Since the Lord had it on my heart to write this blog, 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.

Joshua 11:1-23 The Kings of the Land Battle Against the Israelites Who Win by the Lord God

 

The Kings of the Land Battle Against the Israelites Who Win by the Lord God

Joshua 11:1-23               The Book of Joshua [in Smaller Chunks]

It [happened,] when Jabin, [Hazor’s] king, had heard those things, he sent to Joab, [Madon’s] king, & to the [kings] of: Simron & Achshaph. [Joshua 10:41-42 And Joshua [attacked] them from Kadesh Barnea, even to Gaza & all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon. And all [their] kings & all their land, Joshua took at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel.]

[Jabin also sent] to the kings on the North of the mountains, & the plains South of Chinneroth, & in the valley, & borders of Dor, on the West, & to the [Cannanites] on the East & West & to the [Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites & the Jebusites] in the mountains, & to the [Hivites below] [Mount] Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.

[The kings] & all their [armies] went out with them & [many] people, even [like] the sand upon the sea shore in multitude, with very many horses & chariots. And when all these kings met together, they came & pitched [their tents] together at the Waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.

And the Lord said to Joshua, [Don’t] be afraid, because of them. For I will deliver them up all slain before, [a.k.a. in front of,] Israel tomorrow [around] this time. You shall [hamstring] their horses & burn their chariots with fire.

So, Joshua & all the people of war with him, came suddenly against them by the Waters of Merom & [attacked] them. And the Lord delivered them into the hand of Israel, who [struck] them, & chased them into [Greater Sidon a.k.a. Zidon] & to Misrephoth Maim, & to the Valley of Mizpeh eastward.

And they [attacked] them, until none [remained.] Joshua did to them [like] the Lord [had told] him. He [hamstrung] their horses & burnt their chariots with fire. At that time, Joshua [returned] back & [captured] & [struck,] Hazor, [its] king, with the sword.

[Prior to this,] Hazor was the head of all those kingdoms. They [attacked] all the [people there] with the edge of the sword, [totally] destroying all [that] breathe: & he burnt Hazor with fire.

Joshua [captured] all [these] kings & [their] cities, & [struck] them with the edge of the sword & [totally] destroyed them, [like] Moses, the servant of the Lord commanded. 

But as for the cities that still stood in their strength, [a.k.a. were built on mounds,] Israel [didn't] [burn any] of them, [except] only Hazor, [which] Joshua did burn. All the [plunder] of these cities, & the: cattle, [a.k.a. livestock,] the [people] of Israel took for [plunder for] themselves. But they [struck] every man with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them & left [none breathing.]

[Like] the Lord commanded Moses, his servant, Moses [also commanded] Joshua, & Joshua did [this.] [Joshua didn’t leave anything] undone [that] the Lord commanded Moses.

So, Joshua [captured] all that: land, the hills, the South country, & all the land of Goshen, the valley, the plain, & the [mountains] of Israel [its] valley & [foothills.]

[Joshua captured] all their kings, & [struck & killed] them even from Mount Halak, that [goes] up to Seir, even to Baal Gad, in the Valley of Lebanon [beneath] Mount Hermon.

Joshua [was at war] a long time with all those kings. There wasn’t a city [who] made peace with the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel, [except for] the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon, & all [the others,] they took in battle. 

For the Lord [hardened] their hearts, [so] that they [wouldn't] come against Israel in battle, [so Joshua] might [totally] destroy them. And that they might have no [favor,] but that he might destroy them, [like] the Lord commanded Moses. 

Joshua came at that time & [destroyed] the Anakims, [a.k.a. giants,] from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab & from all the mountains [& hill country] of Judah & Israel. Joshua [totally] destroyed them with their cities. 

None of the Anakims were left in the land of the [people] of Israel. [There were only Anakims remaining] in Gaza, Gath & Ashdod.

So, Joshua [captured] the whole land, according to all the Lord said to Moses. And Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel, according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested [in peace] from war.
