I’m not sure whether it’s possible to read a text without any interpretation. I don’t think you can derive any meaning without interpretation.


Especially since its a text written thousands of years ago, where the meanings of some of the words are pretty unclear, and you are probably not reading the original but a translation.

There are words in the bible where people just aren't sure what they are referring to. E.g. what is gopher wood? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_wood
