It’s a crossover between Judaism and Irish fairy folklore. God can do everything except he can’t touch iron because it burns him.
They just try to downplay that because knowing God’s weakness kind of pokes a hole in that whole omnipotence thing.
“Is it possible for God to make a metal so powerful, even he can’t touch it?”
“Yes.”
Our god gave us the hills nobody lived and can’t farm.
That rich farmland must have already been claimed by a different god.
Dude created a world mostly filled with water, and His People can’t even drink it.
Terrible writing. “They” presumably refers to two different groups within the same sentence.
That’s perfectly fine with a complex sentence that clearly refers to a separate group before the second usage.
It also wasn’t originally written in English.
