You shouldn't cite the Bible as a historical document. The Bible also says that the Jews were slaves in Egypt, but archaeologists say that isn't true.

More like "they weren't all enslaved in Egypt"

The point he was trying to make was that they did live there a long time ago. That fact is collaborated by other sources. He probably should have cited those other sources, but the Bible is just the best known one.
