She loved Walter White . Not Heisenberg <| sep |> all those lists of endless genealogies that take up such huge portions of the Old and such hefty chunks of the New TestamentsAnd that ' s how you can tell when someone didn ' t even try to read the book . There are four significant sections of genealogy Adam to Noah in Genesis 5 Noah to Abraham in Genesis 1011 Abraham to Jesus in Matt 12 Adam to Jesus in Luke 3 Chapters were pretty short back then , so all together , these endless genealogies take 2030 minutes to read . And that ' s if you ' re actually paying attention and asking questions which , at least in my tradition , was strongly encouraged . If we ' re talking about tedious detail in general , let ' s throw in the censuses of Numbers 1 and Numbers 26 , and the incredibly detailed instructions for building the Tabernacle in Exodus 2531 . Now we ' re at about an hour total , or maybe 2 % of the Protestant Bible . Is that really any worse than other ancient works like Beowulf or The Iliad , or modern epic storytellers like Tolkien and Martin ?
