Great, Very Easy to Read

The Cambridge University bible commentary on Genesis 1-11 is a wonderful book that is very useful and easy to read. I have spent a lot of time looking for Bible commentary books on the Old Testament, and I have finally found one that is concise, easy to read, and does not get too technical and scholarly. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in learning more about the Bible!
