It looks like I've found part of a puzzle? I wonder where the rest of it is! It should be around here somewhere...

    $\begingroup$ Oh, this is beautiful! What a clever collaboration - well done both of you :) It's midnight here so I'll have to leave this to the 'night crew' but I shall look forward to having a go myself when I wake up. Lovely job! $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Glorfindel That is an excellent spot - not something I'd ever noticed before! Either way, wonderfully coordinated and so satisfying to experience :) $\endgroup$

Now that this puzzle has been tweaked,

IT'S HOLIER

First you have to recognize that

the blank area in this puzzle's image is this other puzzle Then you combine them to make this image: enter image description here

The clues are solved like so

enter image description here
Notice that the yellow cells now spell the months of the year.

Each clue has a Bible verse.

Each verse talks about one of the sons of Israel that went to Egypt with Jacob. These are shown in the image above.

Finally, Exodus 1:1-5

lists them in order. Taking the circled letters in the order indicated by the names yields the string ITSWHOLEYEAR.
enter image description here
This makes sense because we have all the months of the year.

(3 5 4) → "(3 6)" shows the enumeration for the literal solution and its homophone when spoken aloud.

When spoken aloud

It's holier!
