So many names, of people who are long dead, and so often the only thing that we can know is their name.
So odd.
Also, it must be tough to have OCD and attempt to read the entire Bible, since your eyes probably glaze over during genealogies, and maybe you would always wonder if you had skipped something, even a single syllable or a single letter in an odd foreign name, and so maybe you would force yourself to read sections and even whole books back again from the beginning.
Also also, of several people I know who have claimed to read the entire Bible - including my one (lawyer) friend from (Missouri) - I need to ask them how they treated the long genealogy parts. Like, did they really read all of that? I'm not sure they did.
