Are you a weaver, or someone who nits? If so, there is a story in these verses, and if you weave or nit the story together you will be astonished. Here is an example of what we miss. The link is a look at the names or the patriarchs is chapter five of Genesis. Little did the writer know, that the names translate into something that will happen thousands of years in the future. Here is the link: What are the meanings of the names from Adam to Noah?
