Tradition states that the Torah (Pentateuch; Five Books of Moses) was dictated by God (Exodus 24:12) and put in writing by Moses (Deuteronomy 31:24) before his death in 1272 BCE.
A:The development of the Pentateuch had a long history, beginning around 900 BCE with the writing of the J Source, until it was finalised by the Redactor some time around 500 BCE. All the contributors to the Pentateuch were anonymous, but have been assigned source names by scholars, to aid in discussion.
The four sources theory says that the Elohist ('E' Source), Yahwist ('J' Source), Deuteronomist ('D' Source) and the Priestly Source ('P' Source) were the main contributors to the writing of the Pentateuch.
Verbal and written. Verbal as in speech, talking to others. Written as in writing with correct punctuation.
The word Pentateuch comes from two Greek words meaning "five books". The first 5 books of the Old Testament are attributed to Moses and are also called the Books of Moses. For Jews, the Pentateuch is called the Torah.
Ancient Egyptian had far more than just two writing systems: Hieratic, Hieroglyphic, Demotic and then Coptic.
There are several forms of short written compositions. Two of the most common are essays and short stories.
The Pentateuch and the Torah are the same thing.
