What part of ''the history of a people, their culture and religion does not come down to quoting a verse,'' is hard to grasp, as you absurdly requested.
For an example, the Torah is a testament to the history of the nation of Israel and Judaism, artifacts, temple, religious practices, etc, etc.
Wake up, you shouldn't need spoon feeding, only to reject everything that you are given because you prefer your own special version of history.
Again;
Judaism, monotheisticreligion developed among the ancient Hebrews. Judaism is characterized by a belief in one transcendent God who revealed himself to Abraham, Moses, and the Hebrew prophets and by a religious life in accordance with Scriptures and rabbinic traditions. Judaism is the complex phenomenon of a total way of life for the Jewish people, comprisingtheology, law, and innumerable cultural traditions. - Brittanica.
