The random italicization I’m less sure about, but it seems to primarily be on words that may not have a direct Hebrew counterpart?

More literal translations of bibles are often like you’re referencing and are really interesting to read when you approach from a scholarly direction.
Take them with a grain of salt and the historian/translators footnotes and see what you take from it. Lots of good thoughts and prayers and wildly different than what the Christian right has championed lately.
Still a fantasy novel though
