“The Bible is written in allegory.” [excerpt]
A close examination of the OT Hebrew does not support that claim.

Most of the OT is very literal. (Means exactly what is says)

If the Bible is only allegory, then it is worthless.

I wasn't clear in my initial statement. I don't believe the Bible is only allegory. Just as Jesus sometimes spoke in parables, some parts of the Bible are allegory.
