biblical tales
Old Testament narratives
Stories from the Bible, especially those commonly retold or referenced in broader culture: Noah's ark, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale.
The phrase often implies narratives treated as moral lessons or cultural touchstones rather than strict religious doctrine: The flood is one of the most enduring biblical tales.
