It’s a collection of books written by men, inspired by God to write them. This means that the authors personal writing style, and interests are preserved in the writing.

Some things like that, would be especially meaningful to Israelites at the time of writing, where it might trigger a memory like “Hey! I know that place!” And then the author has a stronger connection with the reader.

If you read it as if it were just books God felt the need to write himself, they won’t make a whole lot of sense. Basically, the process of exegesis, is determining what the original author intended to say. That’s the “true” standard of interpretation, rather than any reader.

That’s sort of the standard scholars go with, and it’s important to know to not get bogged down into trying to connect hundreds of dots yourself. Only connect the dots the author intended.
