First of all if you could go back to the oldest version they have which I think the oldest version is the Dead Sea Scrolls that's the oldest version of the stories that wound up in the Bible it's not necessarily the Bible.

Why people recommend it

The Dead Sea Scrolls edited by Dr. Peter W. Flint comprises ancient Jewish manuscripts that offer invaluable historical and textual insights into the origins of biblical literature. The collection was discussed on The Joe Rogan Experience during conversations with guests Duncan Trussell and fighters Sean O'Malley and Tim Welch. Joe Rogan noted that these ancient documents represent the oldest known versions of stories that eventually wound up in the Bible, though he stressed they are distinct from the final biblical canon itself. The hosts and guests discussed the fascinating linguistic details of the scrolls, observing that the oldest versions of these foundational stories appear in Aramaic and contain notable differences from modern scriptures. This sparked broader conversational tangents about textual evolution, translation discrepancies, and whether contemporary readers would benefit from returning directly to these ancient, fragmented historical sources. The speakers expressed ongoing fascination with how archaeological discoveries continue to challenge and expand our understanding of ancient religious texts and the complex history behind their eventual compilation into the modern Bible.
