Scheduling

 (Pro 7:20 KJV) He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

I can get fixated on minor details.  In this verse the KJV says “day (3117) appointed (3677)”.  The NASB says, “full moon” (3677).  I start wandering, which is it?  I went to the Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament for more depth and all it said was, “full moon”.  There doesn’t seem to be much wiggle room.  This is one of those rare cases where the KJV is acting like the Living Bible, it is paraphrasing.

Biblical people could plan and have schedules.  It is not a modern occurrence.  They may not have had the atomic clocks we have for incredible accuracy but they had enough to serve them in their day.  Remember, no one else had a Rolex either.  There are times when we just have to go with cultural conventions.

So?  This is another reminder to let what is Caesar’s be Caesar’s.
