Modern Jews are not the Jews of the Bible.
Research "Edomite Jews."
In some esoteric thoughts, "Jews" are enlightened people, not the bloodline or the religion.
I suspect this to be true, although it has been buried under centuries of religious dogma to the contrary.
This was most likely a part of an oral tradition long before writing was developed. When you write such things down, the need of symbolism is obvious. The downside is it can't answer back like a living person can, so misinterpretations cannot be corrected on the spot.
More often than not, the symbolism is perpetuated and not the truths behind it. After so many years, only the symbolism remains. Nobody left to remember the truths.
This is the state of most religions today.
