Ah, there are those who say that the story was passed down through Adam to
Moses (or whoever took notes for Moses) from God.  Presumably, God could
have also set the record straight when he and Moses were conversing.

Yes, and that is my point.  What does it matter?  Why must we make it reconcile with
what *we* believe?  We try to make everything fit and reconcile perfectly.  And folk
like Larry can see right through that.  Better to get meaning out (Exogesis) rather
than put it in (Eisogesis).  Let the text speak for itself.

over the city he's sworn to...to stare out over...  And it's evident...just
by looking at him...that he's got some PRETTY HEAVY THINGS ON HIS MIND.
