Apparently there were vernacular translations of the Christian Bible into Gothic that specifically omitted the books of Joshua and Judges bc the 4th century missionaries were like “yeah uh they uh… they don’t need to know about these parts… not yet… it’ll undo so much fucking progress they’re gonna read Judges and then their take away is gonna be “SO IF I SPEAK AN OATH TO BURN ALIVE MY FIRSTBORN CHILD THEN THIS CHRIST-GOD WILL GRANT ME INVINCIBLE FAVOR IN BATTLE?????”
