Just as a "good to know" for bracing for possibly takedown notices :).

As per http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+22%3A18-19

I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.

As noted by @abackstrom on Twitter:

I'd like to give the women of Genesis some agency, but honestly I think I'd be starting from square zero.

Genesis doesn't currently pass the Bechdel Test. And that's a really, really low baseline for female character presence.

You stated, rightfully so, that we don't want to break backwards compatibility regarding the revert back to the Sumerian clay tablet version of Genesis, but I'd like some input before I start making God consistently plural again and start introducing Enki and Enlil again.

Please advise.

There is an issue in chapter one in the first sentence. There is mention of God but it is undefined.
