the bible isnt a history book its a collection of stories written by those who could write after hearing stories handed down thro a fair few generations, was written initially in 100AD (.. you were lucky to reach 50 in those days)

it was a guide thro story of how to lead a better life, few people read it way back then, it was read aloud, and how those who read the stories interpreted and translated those stories lead to the changes.

some monks - dunno when, rearranged our calendar a few hundred years ago and got the math wrong, so basing any dates in it now has to be done on the old timeline then add some years.

if you have ever read the witnessstatements of two people in the same place watching an accident and wondered if they were watching the same thing ... now base that on the stories that are written in the bible, ofc there are errors.

it doesnt make it a bad book, but imo people should realise that to live a life to religous text without wavering should not be done.
As a general guide, used as an example .. not a diagram of how to live, it stands up pretty well.
