See, I never know where to read. I find certain parts of the bible boring (like the who begat who, lol). But I like Psalms, Proverbs, Ephesians, and Matthew through John.
For yrs I skipped over the "boring" chapters in the Bible like the begats and tribe placements in Numbers I think. But they actually contain some of the most breathtaking proofs of how Jesus Christ is everywhere, through the incredible design by the Holy Spirit of Scripture: For instance, The apparently boring begats in Genesis 5: disclaimer - THIS IS NOT MY RESEARCH

That's rather remarkable:
Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow; (but) the Blessed God shall come down teaching (that) His death shall bring (the) despairing rest.
Here's the Gospel hidden within a genealogy in Genesis!
Similar coolness in the arrangement of the 12 tribes around the Tabernacle. Looking down, the shape of the tribes is a Cross! With the Ark of the Covenant right in the middle. That is what the Lord would see.
