For example - What’s the deal with the “begats” chapter and how were people living for hundreds of years? Answer: They aren’t individuals, they are family lines. Such and such family came from so and so family and lasted 140 years before dying out. Makes way, way more sense when you read it that way. Amazing what you can learn by reading Asimov’s Guide to the Bible. ;) https://a.co/d/5RmDI4h
