AnswerThere was as yet no standard version of the Hebrew scriptures when the Jews returned from the Babylonian Exile, but the Pentateuch was largely complete, with the final material added during the Exile by the anonymous source now known as the Priestly Source.

The final editing of the Pentateuch was performed by the anonymous source now known as the Redactor, producing the texts much as we see them today.

How many words do Kabbalists say that Moses put into the original version of the Torah?

There is no "original version" of the Torah. The Torah which we possess today has not changed. It contains 79,976 words, which were written by Moses (Deuteronomy 31:24) at God's dictation (Exodus 24:12). The kabbalah has no further (or different) information on this point. The Torah has been vindicated hundreds of times by actual archaeological finds, while theories which claim change have produced zero physical evidence.
