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 14:1-15 The Distribution of the Land in Canaan & Caleb’s Request

 

The Distribution of the Land in Canaan & Caleb’s Request

Joshua 14:1-15               The Book of Joshua [in Smaller Chunks]

These are the countries [that] the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, [that] Eleazar, the priest, & Joshua, [Nun’s] son, & the [leaders] of the [forefathers'] tribes of Israel, distributed to them for an inheritance. 

Their inheritance was [assigned] by lot, as the Lord commanded [at] the hand of Moses for the [91/2] tribes. On the other side [of the] Jordan [River,] Moses had [already] given the inheritance of the 2 ½ tribes.  For the children of Joseph were 2 tribes: Manasseh & Ephraim.

Therefore, they [didn’t give an] inheritance [of land] to the Levites in the land [of the Canaanites,] [except for the] cities [for the Levites to live in] & their suburbs for their: cattle, [a.k.a. livestock,] & [possessions.] The children, [a.k.a. people] of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses & divided the land. The [people] of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal.

And Caleb, [Jephunneh’s] son, the Kenezite, said to [Joshua,] You know [what] the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, [about] you & me in Kadesh Barnea. I was 40 years old when Moses, the [Lord’s] servant, sent me to [spy] out the land & I brought him [back] word again, as it was in [my] heart. 

[Still] my brethren [who] went up with me, made the [hearts] of the people melt: but I [totally] followed the Lord, my God. [Numbers 13:31-32 But the men [who] went up with him said, We [aren’t] able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we [are.] 

And they brought up an evil report to the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel [about] the land [that] they had searched, saying, The land we have gone to search through, is a land that eats up [its] inhabitants. And all the people we saw in it are [extremely tall] men.]

And Moses [swore] on that day, saying, Surely the land [you have walked on with] your feet shall be your & your children’s inheritance forever, because you have [totally] followed the Lord my God.

Now [look,] the Lord [has] kept me alive, as He said, these 45 years, [ever] since the Lord spoke [these words] to Moses, while the [people] of Israel wandered in the wilderness.

And now, [look,] this day, I am now 85 years old. [Still,] I am as strong [today] as I was [on] the day that Moses sent me. My strength is now as [it] was then, for both [going] out [to] war & [coming] in [again.] 

Therefore, give me this mountain now, [that] the Lord [spoke of] that day; for you [heard] that day how the Anakims, [a.k.a. giants,] were there & the cities were [tall] & fenced. 

If the Lord will be with me, then I shall be able to drive [the Anakims] out, as the Lord said. And Joshua blessed him & gave to Caleb, [Jephunneh’s] son, Hebron for [his] inheritance. Therefore, Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb, [Jephunneh’s] son, the Kenezite, to this day, because he [totally] followed the Lord God of Israel.

And the name of Hebron [was previously] Kirjath Arba [a.k.a. Kiriath Arba; since] Arba was a great man among the Anakims. The land [had peace &] rest from war.
