Asking for a friend.
I found this.
He said to them, "Thus says yhwh, the God of Israel: Each of you put sword on thigh, go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay sibling, neighbor, and kin." The men of Levi did as Moses had bidden; and some three thousand of the people fell that day. And Moses said, "Dedicate yourselves to yhwh this day—for each of you has been against blood relations—that [God] may bestow a blessing upon you today."
Exodus 32:26-28
Any thoughts?

Sounds like genocide to me.
It's still going on thousands of years later e.g. Gaza.
Robert said that everything in the bible is true.
He said in his earlier posts:
"The Bible is public and endorsed by the church."
"It's a sad thing that so many people misinterpret the Bible and what it is."
"The first copies of the Bible date to about 500 AD. There was a lot of discussion about what should actually be in the Bible. The Protestants threw out a lot of the Bible in the 16th Century because it didn't support Martin Luther's take on things. We Catholics still have the whole bible you will be pleased to hear!'
"I believe in the bible but only the Catholic version."
I guess he's the expert.
I almost forgot. Robert would say that women were treated quite well in the bible.
Thanks for the update.

If things don't work out, invent another curmudgeon.

you know you were wasted in terms of time and place.
2500 years ago, in the Palestine region you could have been one of those jokers writing all the weird shit that became the bible. You'd have got on well with the other writers, getting pissed and making up confusing stories ..... hey! If I'd been there would you have given me a job?
