The sole intent of the biblical stories is to indoctrinate people into the ideas that they need to be completely obedient and loyal to the Boss. It's like a military code of conduct for everyone. If the Boss tells you to throw babies off a cliff you do it without question or hesitation. If you are offered $100 Billion for switching to another team you refuse even if it costs your your life.
All of the biblical stories are based on at least one of the Ten Commandments found in Exodus 34:11-28. The miracles are based on Exodus 34:10. Most of the stories illustrate the First Commandment. It's pretty much universal in all cultures. Invade other people's lands, expel or kill them, and destroy their culture. The stories don't have to be true to illustrate the principles.
