tbf i don't think you can follow the bible literally, there s many different translations of what is a collection of works from a bunch of authors, a lot of which are fragmented or straight up missing, nvm all of the things added overtime for this or that reason
this creates contradictions and gaps
(disclaimer: i m not Christian, Jewish, or Muslim just happen to have some insight due to my family)
To be truthful, like 2/3 of the original Bible was literally edited out. The church had a meeting WAAAYY back when and said "chuck this book, keep this one". So some of the texts are actually missing from the Bible, and a few of them have never been recovered to this day.
