The bible is a compilation of books. It is arguable that the reference of not adding to refers only to the particular book (Part) of the bible.

I think though more importantly it sort of confirms that it was a pretty common practice for people to add to or change books to their own liking at the time, and copyists might change the content to put their own stamp on a story.

@snytiger6 no,there is actual writing thruout promising a terrible future for anyone who alters/changes the babble in any way...another thing ignored through the ages.
Annnd, As If i care, just stating the words contained therein...I mean, either it is the Word of Gawd & thus obviously not up to humans to change it, or.........?

@AnneWimsey Each book of the bible was its own book before they were complied into the bible.... coem to think of it the very compilation of the bible goes against the adding to....

@snytiger6 I want them to put back the Apocrypha! Giants walking the earth, impregnating humans, aaannnddd etc.....

It's called the Old Testament lol

@barjoe
Ah yes, the torrid Torah-plus.
