There is NO TRUE religious bible from ancient times.
One must remember is that the bible was Started by a group of superstitious nomads who were basically goat herders and cave dwellers and is CLEARLY based on the Visual interpretations and myths of the time it was originally written. Much of the bible is an extension of the tribes of Israel trying to justify themselves by extending their existence BACK to the "beginning" through fairy tales that we know never happened today.
The problem is that visual interpretations are often wrong. A person who has driven in Texas could drive for miles looking ahead at the flat land - and assume the world is flat - but it isn't in reality. And that becomes a problem for the bible - where in Mark and Luke - there is a story of the christ being taken - by the Devil - up to a high mountain - from which he could see ALL the kingdoms of the earth.
Yet - based on the curvature of the earth - even if that mountain was Mount Everest - the most that could have been seen would be about 216 miles - so he could not have seen even all the kingdoms mentioned in the bible before that supposed time.
Of course - at the time of the christ - a Family Blood Line ONLY went through the father because then they thought that a man Planted a SEED into the woman that contained everything for the progeny to grow - they did know that the child and the mothers blood did not mix by that time.
So - a woman was NOT a blood relation to her children. ANd of course - that also becomes a problem for the religion since the bible also states that the Messiah will be a descendant of David - but a "person" without a human father had NO such blood line - and a foster father doesn't count.
