Traditionally, Moses is said to have written the first five books of the Old Testament, known to Christians as the Pentateuch. However, some scholars now say that it is clear that Moses did not write any of the Old Testament, and that the scriptures only began to be written many centuries after the time attributed to him. On this evidence, Moses did not write any books of the Old Testament, and he did not write any other books that we know of.

∙ 9y agoMoses wrote a number of Psalms, plus the book of Job (Talmud, Bava Bathra 14b). Most importantly, Moses wrote the Torah, which explicitly names him as having written it (Deuteronomy 31:24) as commanded by God (Exodus 24:12). This tradition has been handed down, without break, for 3300 years, and is attested to by ancient non-Jewish writers as well.The modern hypothesis which claims to ascribe the Torah to people other than Moses need not concern believers, since the theory has lost credibility, as Archaeology and other disciplines have demonstrated the integrity of the Torah. No fragments have ever been found that would support the Documentary Hypothesis, which remains nothing more than an arbitrary claim:

Were any books of Moses omitted from the Bible?
As far as we know, Moses never even wrote any books. Certainly, it is true that the first five books of the Bible are traditionally attributed to him, but that attribution is no more than tradition. There is nothing in the five books themselves to suggest, directly or indirectly, that Moses had any part in writing them. There is a wealth of evidence in the same books, that Moses did not and could not have written them. Moses never wrote any books that we know of, so none has been omitted from the Bible.
How did Moses write the first books of the Bible and write of his own death?
The first five books of the Bible, known collectively as the Pentateuch, are traditionally attributed to Moses. A well known problem with this is that the Pentateuch reports the death of Moses. One solution put forward is that God told Moses of his own future, while another, more plausible solution is that The Pentateuch was completed after his death. Another, less well known problem with authorship by Moses is that his own father-in-law is given three different names in different places. You would expect that Moses would at least know the name of his own father-in-law! In fact, scholars tell us that the Pentateuch had not one, but four different authors, and was written many centuries after the time attributed to Moses. This is why there are so many 'doublets' - passages written twice and in each case somewhat differently. It is also the reason that the writing style changes from place to place, and why early Hebrew is mixed with a later version of the Hebrew language. Moses did not write the first books of the Bible and, of course, did not write of his own death.
How long did it take to write the scriptures?
The prophets wrote their books, from the time of Moses (Deuteronomy 31: 24) down to the time of Ezra, one thousand years.
