All Scripture text has context and background. Text should never be read literally or in isolation. Always seek clarification from religious scholars and teachers. In general, text adheres to four principles:
1. Literal Meaning - What the Text says
2. Historical Setting - The story events; how the Text was understood in its time
3. Grammar - The surrounding sentence and paragraph; textual context
4. Synthesis - A comparison with similar Texts to give a better contextual understanding
