Next  ►

¹ The Lord created man of the earth, and turned him into it again.

² He gave them few days, and a short time, and power also over the things therein.

³ He endued them with strength by themselves, and made them according to his image,

⁴ And put the fear of man upon all flesh, and gave him dominion over beasts and fowls.

⁵ They received the use of the five operations of the Lord, and in the sixth place he imparted them understanding, and in the seventh speech, an interpreter of the cogitations thereof.

⁶ Counsel, and a tongue, and eyes, ears, and a heart, gave he them to understand.

⁷ Withal he filled them with the knowledge of understanding, and shewed them good and evil.

⁸ He set his eye upon their hearts, that he might shew them the greatness of his works.

⁹ He gave them to glory in his marvellous acts for ever, that they might declare his works with understanding.

¹⁰ And the elect shall praise his holy name.

¹¹ Beside this he gave them knowledge, and the law of life for an heritage.

¹² He made an everlasting covenant with them, and shewed them his judgments.

¹³ Their eyes saw the majesty of his glory, and their ears heard his glorious voice.

¹⁴ And he said unto them, Beware of all unrighteousness; and he gave every man commandment concerning his neighbour.

¹⁵ Their ways are ever before him, and shall not be hid from his eyes.

¹⁶ Every man from his youth is given to evil; neither could they make to themselves fleshy hearts for stony.

¹⁷ For in the division of the nations of the whole earth he set a ruler over every people; but Israel is the Lord's portion:

¹⁸ Whom, being his firstborn, he nourisheth with discipline, and giving him the light of his love doth not forsake him.

¹⁹ Therefore all their works are as the sun before him, and his eyes are continually upon their ways.

²⁰ None of their unrighteous deeds are hid from him, but all their sins are before the Lord

²¹ But the Lord being gracious and knowing his workmanship, neither left nor forsook them, but spared them.

²² The alms of a man is as a signet with him, and he will keep the good deeds of man as the apple of the eye, and give repentance to his sons and daughters.

²³ Afterwards he will rise up and reward them, and render their recompence upon their heads.

²⁴ But unto them that repent, he granted them return, and comforted those that failed in patience.

²⁵ Return unto the Lord, and forsake thy sins, make thy prayer before his face, and offend less.

²⁶ Turn again to the most High, and turn away from iniquity: for he will lead thee out of darkness into the light of health, and hate thou abomination vehemently.

²⁷ Who shall praise the most High in the grave, instead of them which live and give thanks?

²⁸ Thanksgiving perisheth from the dead, as from one that is not: the living and sound in heart shall praise the Lord.

²⁹ How great is the lovingkindness of the Lord our God, and his compassion unto such as turn unto him in holiness!

³⁰ For all things cannot be in men, because the son of man is not immortal.

³¹ What is brighter than the sun? yet the light thereof faileth; and flesh and blood will imagine evil.

³² He vieweth the power of the height of heaven; and all men are but earth and ashes.

Charlie Slaves's Ecclesiasticus Chapter 17 comment about verse 11 on 5/27/2023, 5:50am...

With respect MountHoreb, for the purpose of understanding, all rule of word, be it style, etymological, grammatical and legalese, be set aside. Words are spells and have power to create. However, intention herein is pure.

If we continue to slice and dice time and bloodlines, we fail to view our now as spirit. Whilst some of the statute you quoted is perhaps out of context, the sentiment is received.

GEN 2:4 the switch from GOD to Lord God and the view from heaven and earth to earth and heaven. Lord is the mind of man as created in the image of GOD. Not form but mind

There was no question asked in the comment made other than to confirm addition and removal of text was forbidden. Apocrypha being hidden, simply suggests that bridge of text was impacting timeline for all spirit in mankind.

The development of devolution has reached point, ego is majority yet that house is divided and those peaceful spirited with GOD watch on as tares bundle themselves unable to accept truth that we are in the kingdom of GOD

In the midst of all hearts, the spark of love awaits to be fueled once again with the light of GOD.

The selected text which make up our holy bible chosen by over lords that lord over you in a system designed by them that guide mankind. Consider GEN 1:27 and know as spirit you are lord over the man in which you are. Take charge and minister your state.

GOD BLESS MANKIND

Charlie Slaves on Ecclesiasticus 17:11

Questions as to why specific writings became 'apocrypha' and subsequently removed from the original KJV is simply that content therein cemented the foundation of the word giving greater understanding. A time for everything and everything has a time.

If you read from Genesis to Revelation their is a common theme. The Promise seed Genesis 3:15, Israel Gods chosen people , The coming one the messiah, Israel's disobedience and captivity, Jehovah (Psalm 83:18) mercy and delivering his people from captivity because they repented. Even the book of Ruth played a part in the symbolic descendant role in the promise seed

Matthew 1:5.

How does the book of Esther add up? this book talks about Jews being in Shushan. The Jews were always in captivity by their enemies for their deliberate disobedience to Jehovah-Nehemiah 13:23-31;Esther 2:6 (Exile). Esther didn't have a choice; she was in exile or in captivity as while and taken to the kings house-Esther 2:8. Jehovah god blessed this situation because they relied on him when Haman tried to scheme or plot to destroy all the Jews Esther 3:5-15. This book is accurate because it matches the other books regarding Jews being in captivity or exile.



When you read the apocrypha does it match the bibles overall theme? does this puzzle pieces match?

does it complete the whole picture?

I hope this answers your question. Thank you
