Some believers even hold that Moses only took dictation while God himself told Moses what to write down.

How did the covenant shape Jewish history?
The covenant between God and the Israelites ensured that the Jews (a.k.a. Israelites) would always keep the Torah. This, in turn, led the Jews to study Torah, to maintain a scholarly class among Jews, to write books of commentary and Jewish thought (so the Torah wouldn't be inaccessible due to lack of understanding on our part), and to keep ties between the various Jewish communities (so Judaism wouldn't inadvertently split into different religions).The keeping of the Torah's commands created many ramifications, such as Jews having supported the poor, maintained synagogues and places of Torah-study, ascertained a supply of kosher food, etc.See also:What_is_the_covenant_of_the_Hebrew_peoplehttp://judaism.answers.com/jewish-history/timeline-of-jewish-history
