More literal translations of bibles are often like you’re referencing and are really interesting to read when you approach from a scholarly direction.

Take them with a grain of salt and the historian/translators footnotes and see what you take from it. Lots of good thoughts and prayers and wildly different than what the Christian right has championed lately.

Still a fantasy novel though

Just hopping in to suggest the NASB translation to anyone reading your comment. Super literal and requires a lot of studying the footnotes.

Get one without some theologian rambling about his opinion for literally half the book (lookin at you, John MacArthur).
