I am totally confused now. So lack of accuracy can still be historical as long as a date is provided? So, where in the OT can I find the date of creation, and the date of exodus 3:14?
As I do not want to hijack the thread into a jewish thread I will just suffice to ask the above question and will be content to be answered just that. The date references as given in the OT, about Creation of firmament; Abraham, Issac, and David's birthday; The day (or atleast the year) of exodus.

date of creation is given in the Genesis, which itself was plagiarised from the sumerian Enuma Elish and its about 5 thousand and so many hundred years old (clearly spelled out).
the exodus - moses leading the jews out of egypt happened during the reign of king Ahamos. thats what i know, but i am sure the exact year is also given in OT. i quick gogle later i could give u all the dates.
abraham's time is clearly marked, issac was born to abraham when he was 100 years old. david's time is clearly written (not just in OT, cos david was the most historically recorded of abraham, moses and david, and the founder of jerusalem)
the OT is tribal history every bit. and less or religion and theology.
