They all had Torah scrolls but whatever oral traditions that decided upon were differing.Like I said when they returned from exile along with every other tribe that scattered to parts unknown they all returned with somewhat slightly differing written traditions about Moses, the creation of man, giving Law etc, which were awkwardly woven together into its present form.
So basically you were wrong to say that the stories were first written by babylonian Jews....
The stories were written long before there were any babylonian Jews.
