To add more to this, they contain a lot of information that was thought to be lost such as a lot of information which was common knowledge at the time which have been lost to time through the years, events in the Bible spoken in great detail, etc.
For example, something you might not ever have thought about,, when Moses had to pick up his staff that changed into a snake by the tail, it was a complete act of faith and trust in God that the snake would not turn around and bite him because you pick a snake up behind its head (Not by its tail). This is an example of something that was common knowledge that people normally wouldn't read over twice because it is like big deal, he picked up his staff.
