The word choice is in some of the oldest form of writing being Hebrew. So some of the repeating words could have something to do with that. But by repeating words over and over again it cements your thought and the thought they are trying to cement is that God is awesome in the full meaning of the word.
The treatment of women is kinda how you interpret it. You could think that the bible is dissing on women saying that without man woman could not have been conceived. Or you could look at it like, man needs woman so that he won't be lonely because it says, "It is not good that the man should be alone." And the reason that many women were looked on as inferior was due to lack of education. Until 1534 the bible was only printed in one language, Hebrew, and the only people who could read it was the Pope, Cardinals, and some highly educated scholoars. Then Martin Luther translated it from Hebrew into German and then the common German could read the Bible.
I do not feel that a Judge could use this document in a court setting. This country is founded on the freedom of Religion. Now if we had a required Religion the Judge could totally be able to have this as a ligament document in court.

Very well written post. I like your thoughts on "cementing" the ideas of God and creation in your brain by repeating the same words and phrases.
