As far as the rabinic traditional views, I find them interesting and helpful, but hardly authoritative in regards to understanding the Bible since they heavily draw upon non-Biblical texts, rumours and other stuff.
Thanks for sharing!

That wasn't aimed at you.
But, you don't take non-biblical texts from the same time period as relevant?
Never mind.
