The Torah has several limitations as a historical source. Firstly, it was written centuries after the events it describes, which raises questions about its accuracy and the potential for mythologization. Additionally, its primary purpose is religious and theological rather than historical, leading to a focus on moral and spiritual lessons rather than strict historical detail. Finally, the lack of corroborating archaeological evidence for many events and figures mentioned in the Torah further complicates its reliability as a historical document.
