IMO, everything that is contained within what people call the Bible, in all its variations, can be considered allegorical, framed for the purpose of edification.

Although, what is described therein might have happened exactly as described, and could still fulfill the purpose of edification.

IOW, the actual circumstance of the incident or behavior related is less important than the concept communicated by the recounting of the circumstance, as an object lesson.


Excellent,thank you.
