hey /lit/,

as a 22yo who's never read The Bible, what should I know before starting? What parts should I look out for? I've heard Duderonomy is essential reading.

starting pic related tonight. I'm really excited.

Okay so I'm on the first page and it says

What did he mean by this?

I am very interested in alt translations of the bible. I've heard Robert Alter is pretty great for the old testament, but haven't looked into it much beyond that.

I plan to get Lattimore's new testament soon. I've read some excerpts and comparative reviews and it seems to be incredible and fresh, yet accessible. I'm sure he makes some contextual errors, since he is no biblical scholar, but his ability to translate Greek is unrivaled.
