Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

Numbers 22

 When I read - 

"...God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do."  (Numbers 22:20)

When I read that, I felt something was not translated correctly.  After further doing some more research, I found that the Joseph Smith Translation added - 

"if thou wilt" to "rise up".  Now that seemed right.  The Lord allows us to choose in many matters.
