Yes, but the context here is one of the scriptures of a religion that claims the existence of one omnipotent God. Because of that, we should not just assume that anything that doesn't fit nicely with our reasoning to be a metaphor of some kind. Do note that I'm not saying the Bible doesn't use metaphors. But usually, those are either explicitly stated or ones that would be obvious to most people.

Replace "most people" with "people from the time the books in the Bible were written" and perhaps you'll understand Vexx's (and mine, if I might add) better.
If you can't grasp that, then you certainly lack any kind of understanding of how a society works.
