Quote: the OT scrolls were cobbled together from oral stories,"cobbled together" would be a misleading way of inserting parity between competing hypothesis. Some might suggest that we have no reason to assume that any oral tradition bears resemblance to what was written - others insist that they must be verbatim (or at least so much so that it again, bears no difference) to whatever oral traditions one might assume. Notice that in all of this there's an assumption....and that very assumption is something that others might (and do) contest.
Quote: they also had an oral tradition that went with the scrolls, and that there were numerous sources?See above.
There isn't even a clearcut history of the narrative (partly because stories are kind of elusive in this regard), in fact - the history of it's contents is in much less doubt than the history of it's manufacture.
