Mysteri

I have a lumpy slab of concrete leading from my porch to the yard. It's as if someone poured concrete over gravel. It's uncomfortable to walk on, even in shoes, and unsightly to look at. Is there any way that I can pour concrete over this mess to smooth it out, or will I be wasting time, money, and resources?

Is it still understandable as it was first written, or does much of it get lost in translation along the way?

32The days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran
