There are many places in the OT where a description of an event is suffixed with something along the lines of “and it’s still there to this day” or “And that is what they are to this day.”

But, when is “this day”?

It reminds me of reading technical blog posts or documentation that doesn’t include a date or a version number.

When was this written? Is this still valid/appropriate/relevant/correct?

Anything time relative should be dated or otherwise versioned.
Ok, we can’t go back and change the Bible in this way but we can remember and apply the principle in what we create.
