The "recollections" of the journey of Abraham, as found in biblical narratives, are understood by scholars to potentially compress the experiences of generations of pastoralists, rather than detailing the literal journey of a single individual. This interpretation suggests that these stories may reflect broader historical and social processes experienced by the early Israelites.
