It did collect them all in one book though. Pinned them down, immutably, in word form though. The bible has been the codifier of everything in the fantasy genre.

I don't really agree. I would say confidently that folklore, especially European folklore, has been the primary influence of the fantasy genre, not the Bible. Didn't Tolkien say lots of his ideas came from Norse folklore, for example? Sure, the Bible was an early "fantasy epic" if you will but it wasn't even the first book that put together epic stories of monsters and armies and adventure - think the Iliad and the Odyssey, for example. I don't see anything unique in the Bible that wasn't already done in folklore, and many fantasy staples aren't a part of the Old Testament at all (elves, etc).
