The actual occurrence of events in the Bible

Hello. I don’t think that belief in anything from the entire biblical corpus is a hindrance, perhaps with the exception of the Mount Sinai situation. And even there, it is about interaction with God, the nature of which is open to debate. The question of what in the Bible is myth or allegory and what is historical description is an interpretive question, not a normative one (what is binding and what is not). On the interpretive level, descriptions of ordinary events are probably history, but events that are not taken from our daily lives are also open to other interpretations. Yedeya HaPenini and his allegorical students took this quite far. For them, Abraham and Sarah were matter and form, not flesh and blood people. The Rashba was very angry with them and even banned philosophy students at a young age (up to 25) as a result, but this is a possible interpretation. I don’t know how to set a limit for allegorical interpretation, and I also don’t think there is a limit and that a limit is necessary. It all depends on the interpretive considerations. In light of the knowledge we have today, we definitely need to reexamine all kinds of interpretations, and even what was accepted as historical in the past can turn out to be allegory. After all, if you were to ask the early ones, they would set a limit far beyond what we are willing to do today. Therefore, even today, there is no reason to set such a limit a priori. Every time a question arises, we should examine it in its entirety, and not bind ourselves in advance. It depends on the information that is accumulated and the quality of the interpretive considerations.
