I apologize if threads like this are common, but perhaps other lurkers who are curious will find this useful as well.
I'm currently reading the Bible cover to cover for the first time, still in Genesis, and each chapter gives me some light information, but then I google it and there are people breaking it down like there was an entire book about it. i. e. the confusion of tongues in Babel. After reading it I was left with, "What?" "Why?"
Anyone have any books/resources they recc that explain it? (I know diff denom. interpret it differently.) I'd love it if there's any old books that serve this end, maybe Renaissance era. They're just more of a joy to read, and are typically free of (((contamination.)))
