There is every evidence to suggest that these silly stories existed as oral tales in various Canaanite communities.  We have no indication that any of this shit was written down prior to the Ptolemaic Greeks drafting the Septuagint in the early 3d century BC.

Get ready for the assholes to scream!

I didnt know anything about the Septuagint until right now. It's a translation? Wouldn't there have to be written materials in Hebrew to translate?
