The Bible is a compilation of 66 different books. Some were written thousands of years before Jesus was on earth (the earliest were written by Moses about 1512 BCE)

The earliest book written after Jesus ( Matthew) was written circa 41 CE.

The last Bible books written were around 96-98 CE by John.

The old testament is believed by historians to have been written over a period of time starting a bit more than a thousand years before Jesus. Almost certainly not by Moses. Your main point stands, of course.
