Doesn't context matter in interpreting the Bible?

Ignoring the details of your question because they make no sense to me ,

let me say -

Yes! Context is extremely , vitally important in Bible interpretation.

Yes, context is important when studying anything.

but the context is internal not external.

If two or more people are part of an experience or conversation, getting all their input of the shared event is important.

Going out and asking someone else what happened is taking things out of context, and is heresy.

Trying to use a pagan story to prove or disprove an event in the bible is taking things out of context.

Also remember after Noah's account, and the tower of Babel, the creation account and flood account was taken to the far corners of the earth.

So we shouldn't be surprised if various forms of the event is told and retold, with variations.

actually sense the book of Genesis occurs before the Exodus its quite possible that the Noah story fits at the same time as the Epic of Gilgamesh. If you go by the Biblical calender it fits very well.

but your right much of the Bible is figurative especially the story of Creation.

if you want to find Semitic influence in the Bible read about the Ugaritic language and the Hammurabi code.

Genesis is an account of creation. Nothing preceded creation. God created all, so therefore nothing existed before He created.

No. It means getting a clearer understanding of the text.
