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.

Ezekiel 45:1-25 Priests Shall Note the Following Measurements & Weights

 

Priests Shall Note the Following Measurements & Weights

Ezekiel 45:1-25             The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks]

[Also,] when you shall divide the land for inheritance by lot, [a.k.a. selected randomly,] you shall offer a [sacrifice] to the Lord, a holy portion of the land. The length shall be 25,000 reeds, [a.k.a. cubits,] & the [width] shall be 10,000. This shall be holy in all [its] borders, [all around it.] 

[Ezekiel 47:22 And it shall [happen,] that you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you & to the strangers, [who temporarily stay,] among you, [who] shall [father] children among you. 

And they shall be to you, [like] [they were] born in the country among the children [people] of Israel. They shall have [an] inheritance with you, among the tribes of Israel.] 

And [from] this [measurement,] there shall be for the square sanctuary, 500 [cubits] [long] & 500 [wide around it,] & for [ts] suburbs, [a.k.a. open spaces,] 50 cubits [all around that.] 

[Ezekiel 42:19-20 He turned [around] to the West side & measured 500 reeds, with the measuring reed. He measured it [on] the 4 sides. It had a wall [all around it,] 500 reeds long & 500 [wide,] to make a separation between the sanctuary & the [common] place.] 

And [with] this [measurement,] you shall measure the length of 25,000 & the [width,] 10,000. And [within] it shall be the sanctuary & The Most Holy Place. The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, [who] shall come near to minister to the Lord.

And it shall be a place for their houses & a holy place for the sanctuary. And the 25,000 [in] length & the 10,000 [in] width, shall also, [be for] the Levites, the ministers of the [Lord's] house, [to] have for themselves for a possession [with] 20 [rooms.] 

And you shall appoint: the 5,000 [wide] & 25,000 long possession of the city, over [next to] the [offering given] of the holy portion & it shall be for the whole house of Israel. [Ezekiel 48:15 And the [remaining] 25,000 that are left in the [width next to] the 25,000 [length,] shall be a [common] place for the city, for [dwellings] & for suburbs. And the city shall be in the [middle of it.] 

And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side & also on the other side of [the offering given] of the holy portion. And [in front of] the [city's] possession, from the [width on] the West side & from the [width] on the East side. And the length shall [extend from] the [top & bottom] portions on the West border to the East border. 

The land shall be his possession in Israel. And My princes shall no [longer] oppress My people. And they shall give to the house of Israel, the rest of the land, according to their tribes. [Ezekiel 22:27 In the midst of it, her princes are like [ravenous] wolves [ravaging] the prey to: shed blood;  to destroy [lives;] & to get dishonest [financial] gain.] 

The Lord God says [this;] Let it [no longer] [satisfy] you, O princes of Israel. Remove violence & [plunder] & [carry out] judgment & justice. Take away your exactions, [a.k.a. demands for money,] from My people, says the Lord God. 

You shall have just, [a.k.a. honest or fair] balances, [a.k.a. scales] & an [honest] ephah & an [honest] bath. The ephah & the bath shall [always] be [the same measurement.] [And] the bath [contains] the 1/10 [portion] of an homer & the ephah, the 1/10 [portion] of a homer & [its measurement,] shall be [according to] the homer. 

And the shekel shall [equal] 20 gerahs. And your maneh, [a.k.a. mina,] shall be 20 shekels; 25 shekels; & 15 shekels. This is the [offering] that you shall offer: 1/6 [portion] of an ephah [from] an homer of wheat. And you shall give 1/6 [portion from] an homer of barley. 

[Related to] the [rule about] oil, & the bath of oil, you shall offer 1/10 [portion] of a bath [from] the cor, [a.k.a. kor; in] which a homer is 10 baths. For 10 baths [equal] an homer. 

And [you shall offer:] 1 lamb [from] the flock of 200, [from] the [rich] pastures of Israel; for a meat/grain offering. And [also] for a burnt offering & [a] Peace Offering; to make reconciliation for them, says the Lord God. [Leviticus 1:4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering & it shall be accepted for him, to make atonement for him.] 

All the people of the land shall give this [offering] for the prince [of] Israel. And it shall be the prince's [portion] [of which, he is] to give [the] burnt offerings [for] the: feasts; New Moons; Sabbaths; & [on] all solemn [occasions] [for] the house of Israel. 

[The prince,] shall prepare the: sin offering; meat/grain offering; burnt offering; & Peace Offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel. The Lord God says [this; On] the 1st day of the month, you shall take a young [bull] without blemish & cleanse the sanctuary.

[Leviticus 16:15-16 Then, he shall kill the goat [for] the sin offering, that is for the people & bring [its] blood [inside] the [veil,] & do with that blood [like] he did with the blood of the [bull] & sprinkle it upon the mercy seat & [in front of] the mercy seat. 

And he shall make an atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children [people] of Israel, because of their transgressions in all their sins. And he shall do so for the tabernacle of the congregation, [which] remains among them in the midst of their uncleanness.] 

And the priest shall take [some] of the blood [from] the sin offering & put it upon the posts of the [Lord's] house & upon the 4 corners of the [ledge, a.k.a. trim around the edges] of the altar & upon the gate posts of the inner court. 

[Leviticus 16:18 And he shall go out to the altar that is before the Lord & make an atonement for it & shall take the blood of the: [bull] & the goat, & put it upon the horns of the altar [all around it.] 

And you shall do so the 7th day of the month, for everyone, [who sins] & for him, [who] is simple [minded.] [Like this,] you shall reconcile the [Lord's] house. [On] the 14th day of the 1st month, you shall have the Passover, a feast [for] 7 days & bread [without leaven, a.k.a. yeast,] shall be eaten. 

[Deuteronomy 16:1 Observe the month of Abib & keep the Passover to the Lord your God. For in the month of Abib, the Lord your God brought you out of Egypt [at] night.]  

The prince shall prepare for himself & for all the people of the land, a [bull] for a sin offering, [on] that day. And [the] 7 days of the feast, he shall prepare a burnt offering for the Lord, [of:] 7 [bulls] & 7 rams & a kid goat daily, without blemish [for each day of the] 7 days [of the feast,] for a sin offering. 

And he shall prepare a meat/grain offering of an ephah for a [bull] & an ephah for a ram & a hin of oil for [each] ephah [used.] [Numbers 28:12 And [use] 3/10 deals of flour for a meat/grain offering, [mixed] with oil, for 1 [bull;] & 2/10 deals of flour for a meat/grain offering, [mixed] with oil, for 1 ram.] 

[On] the 15th day, of the 7th month, he shall do [like this during] the feast [for] the 7 days, [a.k.a the Feast of the Tabernacles,] & [do] according to the [rules for the:] oil [for the:] sin offering; burnt offering; meat/ grain offering.
