Do remember that the Bible was assembled rather arbitrarily. To take a random example, if you look at Genesis c12 v10-20, Genesis c20 v1-18, and Genesis c26 v1-32, you will realise you are looking at three different versions of the same story. The first time it's about Abraham and Pharaoh, the second about Abraham and Abimelech, and the third time about Isaac and Abimelech. But they're all basically the same plot - a wife is presented as a sister and the local king wants to marry her, and Bad Stuff happens.

The reason for this is that there was originally a single myth; over time, different versions of it appeared, with slightly different characters; and when Genesis was compiled, three different versions of that story from three different writers were *all* included. So the choice of what was kept in and what was left out can seem oddly random sometimes.

See if you can find a version that includes all the books that are now classed as apocryphal; at one time or another they were all considered to have equal status with what's currently the canon; and some books that are now considered canon once were not; Revelations, for example, was not considered canon for centuries.
