Bible Question: OK, so i am new at ready the bible straight out and was reading exodus 32:27-29, and it says that all the levites strapped a sword to their sides and killed their neighbor, brothers... and 3 thousand died that day and this was instructed by God. i just was looking for more clarity i guess on the logistics of this does anyone know if there is a better bible version to use (i read NIV which is usually the best for easy ready) the application bible didn't give any insight on these verses. |
Bible Answer: beppy, Welcome to the forum. What clarification are you looking for. What I might recommend here is to read all of Exodus 32. That will help with some of the whats and whys. The reason I'm having you go back and read the entire chapter is that when we look at a verse or passage within the context in which it was written, it will shed light on that particular verse or passage of scripture. You are using a pretty good translation (NIV). The NASB- New American Standard Bible is very reliable also. If you are refering to the Life Application Bible I have one that I use frequently but I would recomend that you get yourself a good Reference/Study bible. There are a number of em out there. I have a couple of Thompson chain reference bibles (NASB,NIV) that have been very usefull. Also obtain a good concordane if you don't have one. ( Youngs Strongs are very good.) Hope this helps. In Him, lionheart |
