You have not addressed the rather important issue of WHICH translation you use....this is as important as which dictionary one selects.
This is why a good concordance is necessary
No, I didn’t mention which translation(s) of the Bible I use, because it’s irrelevant to the questions posed in the OP, as well as to the question of whether or not the Bible can be understood by reading it.
Try it for yourself and see... Read the chapter and the other relevant passages, and see whether you can find the answers. I’ll bet you can!
