There’s a LOT in the old testament; usually in the form “and [HUSBAND] knew [HUSBAND’S_WIFE] and she bore [CHILD]”

I agree, there is a lot in the Old Testament; that is exactly what “often” means.

But “a lot” or even “a LOT” does not necessarily mean “usually”.

“Usually” means most of the time, and I am not certain that it would be accurate to say that it is used in that way most of the time.

"There’s a LOT in the old testament;"

Pun intended?

Just kidding, pardon me! God bless you!
