So I wonder if itâs been heavily abridged and he died for some other reason thatâs been left out and they just said God did it because they wanted to reinforce that construct. If God really had a habit of dropping bodies just for spilling their seed, well, letâs just say thereâd be several thousand reasons why I wouldnât be typing this right now.

Ancient stories are almost always parabolic. If thereâs not a lesson to be made, then itâs not preserved. Recording history only for historyâs sake a fairly modern value. So youâre absolutely right. Ancient texts, especially scriptures, tend to attribute things to god whenever itâs convenient for the narrative.
