God himslef didn't write the Bible. We mere mortal humanss did. And we only started writing the stories down around 382 AD, which is centuries after these stories are said to happen. A combination of the years playing the telephone game and our inate human weakness makes errors inevitable. For instance, the idea of Jesus's birth being December 25th was the result of the young Christianity absorbing aspects of the pagan religions of the day.
