OP Anu mentions that the text of the Bible contains all kinds of styles of writing and he says that there are puns. I would like to see them. As far as I concerned, the Bible is completely devoid of humor. Here are a couple of quotations that kind of validate my point of view:
"The total absence of humor from the Bible is one of the most singular things in all of literature" (A. North Whitehead)
"If you don't count some of Jehovah's injunctions, there are no humorists in the Bible." (Mordecai Richler)
