Let's Read the Bible: Day 1

Just planning to begin reading the bible at the beginning and go through it all in sequential order within a year, based on this plan (click on the link). I thought I might share my journey with you. I am using the Holman Christian Standard bible because it is more accurate than the NIV, more understandable than the KJV or NKJV. It goes back to the original greek and hebrew translations, instead of being a translation from a translation; and it uses a mixture of word-by-word translations and phrase translations to accomodate for cliche speaking at the time.

I will be posting videos of me reading the bible and following along using bible Gateway. the link to this bible chapter will be included with each video. Studies show that the more senses you use during reading, the more you understand and remember. So if you listen to it, and read it at the same time, you are more likely to understand and remember. I changed my webpage to use large print so it is easy to read.

After doing through it sequentially, I plan on also going through it chronologically: Chronological Reading Plan - Read the bible in 1 year

The videos below are embedded youtube videos, but they are much better to view directly on youtube as they are not as clear here. If you decide to watch it directly on YouTube, just click the YouTube icon at the bottom right of the video itself.

Day 2

Day 1 - Genesis 1-4 and Psalm 1 and Proverbs 1

Genesis 1 summarizes the 6 days of Creation.

Genesis 2 finishes up the days of creation with the 7th day, and then continues with the more detailed account of creation, focusing on the creation of man.

Genesis 3 covers the Fall of Man:

Genesis 4 covers the Cain and Abel:

Psalm 1

Proverbs 1

Those are the chapters for today. Listen to this Priestly Blessing and it will bless you, say it outloud to yourself and others the the blessing will go forward, May God's word be true to me and you.
