We cannot read the Bible and interpret it word for word.
For a long time, I was very confused why the Bible said that there were Adam and Eve, and we all came from this pair. I was confused that the Bible said that by just believing in His name, a person could become a child of God (so simple ?? John 1:12). I could believe a camel could go through the eye of a needle. (how can ?? doesn't make sense, Matt 19:24)
Now I know we must not interpret the Bible word for word, or word by word. For two thousand years since the books of the Bible were written, language had changed and the understanding of words had changed.
It is better just to understand the idea behind the words that were written.
