Bible hub. If Johnny cash says “kick against the pricks,” Google the phrase. Then find the reference. Then Google “Bible hub acts 26:14”

You find Cash was quoting kjv but pricks means goads or thorns.

You can see lots of versions

I’d recommend listening to kjv on audible or similar. To learn phrases. They will all be kjv.

I’d recommend reading the NIV or nlt for the stories if you want. There are some chronological bibles and one called The Story that is NIV abridged and chronological. 500 pages. Miss some stuff but get the story.

Then kjv listen to some famous passages. Some psalms and epistles and sermons of Jesus.

Just think about the concept of a year. Calendars broken into months. Changing seasons. They figured out how to record all of these and say they were so and so years old or that so and so king ruled for this many years or that such and such event happened on this day of that month etc. Not perfect but pretty good! They knew when it was noon and what hour of the day and all that.

That’s not true. They knew very much about the regularity of the changing positions of the heavenly bodies. They knew certain good times in the day or month or year to perform various practical tasks like expecting the sunrise soon bc of the bright morning star or telling time with sundial or when to hunt vs gather for moon phases or when to plant and harvest and expect floods or rainy seasons etc. They knew how to navigate.

Plus we knew God created it all because He told us quite some time ago.
