I’m of the opinion that there are many things in the Bible that say more than what they’re directly referring to. Maybe that’s naive and just wishful thinking, but it is a pretty deep book.

It goes deeper than that. To fully comprehend the Bible (and I don’t, but I try harder than most) you have to look at how the Hebrews understood it. They’ve been working that ground for a long, long time! A common mistake made by many Christians is to overlook how the language is used. It is more precise than most imagine. Sometimes you have to tie a few things together that don’t, at first, seem related. Moses Maimonides’ “A Guide for the Perplexed” is full of surprising things.
