I tried that and got through Deuteronomy before I stopped. But I didn't stop for a lack of interest but a lack of time. I found it fascinating. If you go to my page and click on the tag for "the adventures of holly bibble" it links to all my entries.
I used the ESV and the KJV since they are both word for word translations, and I used Strong's Concordance with the KJV on biblestudytools.com because of the awesome search tools.
Did you know there's no word for wife in the OT? When you read "so and so took a wife", in the old Hebrew it says "so and so took a woman". Or that "marriage" only appears once, and then only as the "conjugal duty" - and in the context of a man taking a second woman?
I finally finished the whole thing by going the Audible route. When I heard something especially interesting I'd run to biblestudytools.com to look it up and see what they were really saying.
