One can read the Bible on various different levels: as a historical document, a document specifically for you, and so on.

It has many surprises (like the example you gave). Heck, if the Old Testament was made into a movie, it'd be R rated.

My current favorite scripture is the origin of the pet. It's in Genesis 2:18-19. Adam was lonely in the Garden of Eden, so God provided Adam with animals for companionship. Adam gave a name to every one of his animal friends.

It's an endlessly fascinating book. I have many versions of it for study, but I prefer the King James.
