"I think we need to keep in mind the author of the Bible. Then we move from the author to the writer (Moses) and then from the writer to the purpose or context.

"Something happened in 2013. Which led me to the book of Enoch. I believe many truth seekers would be interested to know the events which are leading all of us to today, which soon would become the end of this epoch. Jesus is Enoch. He is the only begotten son, who went up into heaven and absorbed in..."

"In Heb 10, the inspired writer quotes Ps 40:7 (Ps 39:7 in Septuagint), but Ralph's Septuagint quoted from the MT saying 'an ear thou has prepared for me' but the Hebrew writer quotes 'a body thou has prepared for me' = a very crucial error in Ralhf's; Breton's an earlier version has it right; let's..."

"Nicholas R. Werse, "Realigning the Cosmos: The intertextual image of judgment and restoration in Zephaniah," JSOT 45/1 (2020): 111-127, argues that "Zeph. 3:9-10 shares numerous literary links with the positive conclusions to the Cush and Egypt oracles in Isa. 18 and 19" (120), including the phrase..."

"Also noted in William L. Holladay, “Reading Zephaniah with a Concordance: Suggestions for a Redaction History,” JBL 120/4 (2001): 671–684, who suggests a few more parallels. Citing from the conclusion (p684): "With regard to the secondary poetic additions, there are two patterns to note. The first i..."
