And God being the ABSOLUTE authority doesn't have to answer the whys!
Right! And, we can find New Testament examples of this same kind of instructions being given by God to men. See Acts 8:25-29. No explanations, no reasons as to why or how come, no purpose given or expectations to look out for - all of the sort of things we would think to be common, normal and necessary bits of information necessary to complete the task - and so we could evaluate the results (more information and data). Nope - just the command to go and do it. Your understanding of what unfolded may (or may not) come later.

Being an engineer by nature and education, I really don't like these kinds of instructions. But, that is God's way. If I am going to get along with our God - it looks like I am the one who will have to do the adjusting!
