Anyone noticing a pattern here? I found four references of a soothing aroma (verses 2, 6, 8, and 13 (VOICE, NASB)), and I remember years ago, when I first wrote notes 📝 📋 in an NRSV Bible, that Genesis 8:21 was referenced again and again in the Pentateuch, and now, we’re already over 140 chapters into the Scriptures. However, this has taken several years for me to accomplish, for I don’t have a lot of good ideas on what to write in most of the first 17 books of the Bible — but this chapter is found in page 97 of the NKJV Bible I have for this four-translation project, pages 123-124 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 195-196 of my VOICE copy, and pages 199-200 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
There’s more offerings mentioned in this chapter and the next, plus, there’s more vows after that (all from what I can gauge (did I spell that correctly?) in the NKJV), so I’m doing this in three parts, but I’m not going to say much in any of them, for I remember Romans 12:1 saying we get to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice to God through Jesus, now, and we shouldn’t worship Bible studies, either, but live out the commandments of Jesus (see John 13:34-35 and 14:15). Indeed, it’s impossible for the blood of cattle and goats 🐐 to take away sins (Hebrews 10:4), nor can a lamb 🐑 do the trick, unless it’s Jesus, of course, but I don’t want to force anything down your throat 😇😇😇😇😇 there’s always something new to learn from the Scriptures, though. But whoever preaches a different gospel, using a passage like this, exploits truth itself and incurs condemnation (Galatians 1:8-9).
This is my second post today, and I don’t want to spend much time on it, since I’m getting hungry but can’t go anywhere because of my sickness 😷🤒 plus, it’s TOO FREAKING HOT!! (I haven’t been outside Arizona since early 2013.) I guess I’ll have to cook something or order carry-out 😅😅 I’ll see you in the next one!
In Christ,
