It has been well recorded that the writer of Genesis begins at the beginning, and that his narrative covers 2369 years. That there is a Bible timeline is significant, no matter how devoted we are, none of us live in "Bible Times". It is sometimes asked by people with a lot of dedicated attention for Christianity how long the world will endure, they should ask more often how long the Bible will be around. Although it is written within that God will never again destroy the world with a flood, it is true that the manuscript edition of the volume did not itself survive the flood. Noah was literate of course, and so was his family; writing existed before Moses, but none of the Bible itself can be demonstrably proved to have been written before the death of Joseph, which concludes Genesis.
As a knowledge matter, therefore, the Bible, which is venerated as the word of God by members of Christendom, still needs both thought and analysis by way of extrapolation, and further, it needs guardian protections under the law. The writings come to us from sources who lived after the flood. It states that the world will end a second time, by fire and not by water, but just as there are still floods, both natural and man-made, there are already fires, both of natural (seismic, volcanic) origins, and caused by human agents. The operative point here is that books burn.
On the basis of the first amendment, then, we can see that the legal protections for free thought, free speech, and individual religious conscience on the basis of scripture are categorically divided between the private owners of manuscript copies and the state governments. As a private owner, you naturally protect your bookshelf in the same way that you protect everything else in your private home and should be entitled to expect that while you practice your religion privately under the guarantees of the first amendment, the courts are to be expected to guard the security of your property. As a copywritten artifact, it's the within the responsibility of the patent office to oversee the legitimacy of translations publicly for sale and in circulation.
Looking at the Bible as a narrative, it's grammar and language belong to the scribes, who are long passed away. The copyright status of it is with the nation of Israel, and a personal copy that you purchased is your own; if you decide to become a calligrapher, a painter, or an illuminator of manuscripts and copy one for your own use, that is your manuscript. The scribal writer of an original translation into his own language becomes the sole owner of the translated and transcribed manuscript. With translation specifically, there are copyright issues further to promulgation and dissemination, as legally you may only translate into your own language, there is no translating the Bible into someone else's language, or into a made-up language (like Romulan, Klingon or Egyptian Hieroglyphics) for novelty profits.
One of the premier things to understand about the Bible is that it is a capitalist history of the City of Acre. Acre is Jerusalem, there aren't a large world majority of people who call Jerusalem "Acre", but it is well known that the first scribe to proctor the globe in its motions, whose scientific work builds on that of Euclid, defined the word Acre as an area of land, geographically, as one square and identical in size to the walled city with its gate facing East. The entire globe is regularly tiled with acre sized squares without overlap or truncation. This was done by Aristotle.
In spite of the fact that the events in the Bible were written at specific times and that its history covers a specific span, physics and astronomical observation have shown that the way Biblical scribes marked time is identical to the way that time passes. Preacherly, pastoral, and evangelical wording normally divides time into historical and prophetic, just as the legal language of the manuscript divides time into ordinary and sacred. Time itself is an identity, it is a numerically logical absolute the same way gravity and elemental chemistry are logically absolute identities as forces and as matter respectively. The unfortunate notion that time and space are relative with its myriads of absurd, cyclical, and fractally infinite outcomes are the result of certain rather mystically inclined hippy physicists, or possibly just stoners with computers, attempting to mix the qualities of timespans in much the same way that chemists combine elements and bartenders mix beverages.
Realistically speaking, "Bible Times", if approached with reverent sobriety, is one of the best illustrations that a well-read grammarian with a high numerical literacy can use it illustrate the falsity of certain outré notions which circulate as capsule characterizations of religious lifestyle avenues. "Bible Times" really means the time span during which the books were written. However, the Bible itself is not only a history book from the Mediterranean region of the world, and it's considerably more than a lawyerly tome, as anyone who has read both the Bible and their state's extremely long collection of rules and regulations or "codes" can tell you. The Bible tells you as it goes along about both sacred and civil events, and bear very heavily in mind that fully six sevenths of your
time are non-sacred days of labor. That's six sevenths of your time, the prophet's time, the king's time, and reading Exodus 22 letter by letter, it's six sevenths of your man and maid servant's time, six sevenths of the stranger who is within your gate's time, and six sevenths of your farm ox's time as well.
Dividing time into ordinary and sacred is the first step in Newtonian physics or arithmetic.
