A person has to be very severely mentally deficient not to see the art in the Bible. Much of it is people trying to survive while their neighbors are totally without morality. I've known quite young people who can understand it. Your failure is odd. What drives you to make such obvious mistakes? I'm not saying there's no art in The Bible. WTF are you talking about? In fact, I've said many times on here before that we should treat The Bible as literature, as art; but part of that requires understanding how to categorize it under various genres, of which it includes many. Most around here don't have the first clue about literary categories because they've never studied literature. You are correct that there are different types of indirect speech. As a professor of mine once said there are "lumpers" and "splitters" (that was anthropology and referred to the categorization of "cultures.") As with prehistoric "cultures" (before written history) it can be difficult to put all examples of indirect speech neatly into categories. Other scholars might do things differently.
