I believe we’ll see the beginnings of an answer to that in a few pages. But without spoiling too much, the books of the Old Testament don’t start to get written until well after the events of this page, and they’ll be written and rewritten and recombined with definite motives in specific contexts. That will include the warnings and told-you-sos of turning from Yahweh. Who, it turns out, wasn’t dead after all!
