1). Institute of Creation Research, Days of Praise: 10/13/11 Bible study, meditation on the Word, and prayer are necessities for a healthy Christian life and are good to practice at any time of the day or night, according to the constraints of time and responsibilities of each individual. Other things being equal, however, the best time of all is in the early morning. A believer who awakens each morning to the voice of the Lord in His Word will, in turn, be ready to speak words of blessing to others through the day (Isaiah 50:4). And as we, in turn, look up to Him each morning in prayer, He will hear and direct our steps through the day.  This was the example set by the Lord Jesus Himself: "And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed" (Mark 1:35). If even Jesus Christ needed such a quiet time early in the morning set aside to fellowship with His Father, we also would do well to follow.  Note the prayer of David: "Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee" (Psalm 143:8). We urgently need to know the way we should walk each day, for it is so easy to get turned aside into our own ways, and the obvious time to pray for guidance is at the very beginning of every day.  One should not make a legalistic ritual of prayer and Bible meditation, of course, for it should come from a heart of love whenever and wherever it can be done, whether morning or evening, whether in a solitary place or a crowded street. However it may work for each person, may God help us to say with the psalmist: "O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day" (Psalm 119:97). HMM

1). I have four translations/editions of the Jewish Torah. Three of them include the four commandments, 6-9, in one verse (Exodus 20:13). In those Jewish editions it shortens the chapter by three verses, ending at Exodus 20:23. Exodus 20:26 in our Bible is Exodus 20:23 in the Jewish Bible. Our English Bible goes on to Exodus 20:26.

e. ESV: And you shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness be not exposed on it.’ [Scripture quotations are from the Holy Bible, English Standard Version, copyright © 2001, 2007, 2011, 2016 by Crossway Bibles, a division of Good News Publishers.

1). The two words used in this verse, “nakedness” and “discovered “ are used elsewhere as euphemisms for sexual intercourse. The Hebrew words translated into English are,  uncover [1540 * galah]; and nakedness [6172 * ‘ervah].

2). Artificial Intelligence: "Uncover the nakedness" is a common Hebrew idiom ('ervah) in Scripture, particularly in Leviticus 18 and 20, that functions as a euphemism for engaging in sexual relations. It usually denotes illicit, forbidden, or shameful sexual acts, including incest, adultery, or rape. Key details regarding this phrase: Biblical Context: The phrase is heavily used in the "Holiness Code" of Leviticus to prohibit specific sexual acts within1, 2, 7 the family unit. Meaning: It refers to sexual intercourse.
