...................................................................LET US LEARN TOGETHER WHAT IS GOOD. Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed. The biblical stories are seen as fables. Notably, Romans 15:4 reveals: For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.(KJV) In this blog, many of the situations and conversations found in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible have been placed in categories that correspond to expressive sayings and phrases.

Do the Do's, Don't the Don'ts, and Be the Be's

Some of the statutes that the Lord God gave to Moses 
for the Israelites, months after Moses and his older 
brother Aaron led the Israelites away from Egyptian
slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, 
 and into the desert wilderness of Shur:

 Leviticus Chapter 19, 
 verses 19-37 

Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.-Leviticus 19:19

And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.-Leviticus 19:20
And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering.-Leviticus 19:21
And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.-Leviticus 19:22

And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.-Leviticus 19:23
But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal.-Leviticus 19:24
And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God.-Leviticus 19:25

Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.-Leviticus 19:26

Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.-Leviticus 19:27

Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.-Leviticus 19:28

Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.-Leviticus 19:29

Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.-Leviticus 19:30

Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.-Leviticus 19:31

Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD.-Leviticus 19:32

And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.-Leviticus 19:33

But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.-Leviticus 19:34

Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.-Leviticus 19:35

Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.-Leviticus 19:36

Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.-Leviticus 19:37

It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.-Exodus 12:40-42
