    Just to answer a few without a dictionary many of these are still used today such as we prevented them from going. She plaited her hair. We mined the Bdellium. We received the exacted (exactor) right amount. Most of these are very easy to understand if you have a good vocabulary. Maybe that is the problem since the bible isn't allowed in schools the vocabulary words many of us grew up knowing aren't taught anymore.

    Roger - "Bruit" is used twice in the OT - I thought that I might know what it means in context - but I did not. In fact, each time it was used, Strong's has a different reference # for it.

    First I want to apologize that I got you granddaughter mixed up with daughter. Sometimes my mind works faster that my typing. Also, I share you loss in not being able to see your granddaughter.

    Anyways, the tone of your response is that you appear to be KJO. I enjoy using the KJ - but I do use many others as well. The point of option one was that many believe to the point that you cannot be saved by reading any version except the KJV. Many Non-KJO people have a problem with that an other dictates of KJO.
    And there is no way, I accept the thinking that the KJ is on a 4th grade level. At a minium, it is 8-F/College level; and as one posted pointed out, different books do have seperate reading grade levels.

    I respect the legacy of the KJV. But my problem is with KJVO.

    Likewise. But KJVO's see any attempt to correct their as an attack on the KJV itself. However, as has been pointed out so clearly in a recently deceased thread, the worst enemies the KJV has are some KJVO'ers.

    I've actually found I've enjoyed this discussion for the most part. It's been a thoughtful and thought provoking view into how some others here think.

    HUH? Why did Jesus have 12 apostles? Why did He have 153 fish caught by the fishermen/apostles? None of those are divisible by 7 - I don't think that we can decide the right number just based on a theory of numerology. Heck, why didn't Jesus minister on earth for 7 years? Or be crucified in His 35th year? Makes no sense!

    12 = Governmental perfection thus only 12 not 13 as some claim.

    153 = 9 x 17
    9 = Finality or judgement 3 x 3 with 3 equal Divine perfection thus 9 means finality or judgement from a divine stand point
    17 = the perfection of Spiritual Order 7 = Spiritual perfection and 10 equals ordinal perfection this the perfection of Spiritual order

    7 x 5 = 35 thus Spiritual perfection x 5 =Grace Because of God's spiritual perfection and His Grace we receive salvation.

    If you know numerology it makes perfect sense. The edit for the post is in red

    I have the NASB '77 and the update and both say 70, although there is a footnote that says "some manuscripts say 72". But the text has 70.

    I agree with you on the significance of numbers. I first learned about it from Adrian Rogers.

    E. W. Bullinger's book the Significance of Numbers is the one I studied although I am sure there are others, we are getting off track on this so maybe someone could start a thread on this subject.

    Can't they move together in one place so this would save $$$.

    After deaf schools are closed, where will deaf students go?

    You got 2 1/2 out of the 16 you answered correct (You got plaiting and peculiar people correct. Firkin is approximately 10 gallons. You get half a point for answering 'measurement'.)

    Bdellium is resin. Exactor is a measuring device, similar to a ruler.
