Lol, 'ignorant shepherds' wouldn't have been literate. There's really no basis for your statement about the authors knowledge of metaphor and considering the countless examples of metaphor and other literary devices in the Tanakh it becomes ridiculous.

I was speaking of the story of Genesis, which is in the Torah. It may also be in The Bible, but obviously they did not have the same writers.

Bible and Torah are interchangeable terms, generally speaking. It's not really relevant though.
