Answer:
According to the Documentary Hypothesis he was an anonymous writer who around 621 BC supposedly wrote Deuteronomy. We know very little about him (or her). What we do know is that, even though he claimed 40 times in Deuteronomy that Moses wrote Deuteronomy to give it credibility, he actually was the author. Some call this literary fraud, others call it writing pseudonymously. I believe the consensus has swung back towards Mosaic authorship.
Unlike The Bible-Critics who possess no early source, the Hebrew Bible has been handed down since its beginning, in an unbroken chain of tradition for which we possess the names, biography and dates of the leading sages in every single generation. Every verse is elucidated in the Talmud and midrashim.
No parchment, scroll, or inscription has ever been found that would support the Bible-critics' JEPD (different sources) hypothesis, which remains a theory. And those ancient writers who mention, describe, summarize or translate the Torah (Josephus, Samaritans, Targum, Septuagint etc.), describe it in its complete form.
God gave Moses prophecy; so after the incident at the rock (Numbers ch.20), Moses wrote down the whole Torah, even events that didn't yet happen (such as his death).
The first four books of the Torah were dictated word for word by God. The last, Devarim (Deuteronomy), was written by Moses in his own words, although God provided Divine inspiration (Talmud, Megillah 31b and Tosfot commentary, ibid).
Some JEPD theorists question the very existence of Moses. In so doing, they not only ignore the continuous tradition of the entire Jewish nation, but also the statements of ancient writers including Hecataeus, Strabo, Alexander Polyhistor, Manetho, Apion, Chaeremon, Tacitus, Porphyry, Artapanus, Eupolemus, Ben Sira, the Greek Septuagint, the Samaritans, Josephus and Philo, all of whom testify that Moses was an actual person.
Archaeological finds, such as the Ugarit documents and those of Nuzu, Mari, Susa, Ebla, and Tel el-Amarna, have repeatedly caused the critics to retract specific claims. The entire social milieu portrayed in the Torah, once criticized as anachronistic, has been shown to be historically accurate, including customs of marriage, adoption, contracts, inheritance, purchases, utensils, modes of travel, people's names and titles, etc. Professor Gleason Archer Ph.D of Harvard University states: "In case after case where historical inaccuracy was alleged as proof of late and spurious authorship of the biblical documents, the Hebrew record has been vindicated by the results of excavations, and the condemnatory judgment of the Documentary theorists have been proved to be without foundation."
That is the book of Exodus.AnswerMoses wrote the Torah (Deuteronomy 31:24), which contains Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.
Moses, who wrote the Torah (Deuteronomy 31:24).
Moses wrote it, as it waas dictated to him, as stated explicitly in Deuteronomy 31:9, 24.
God dictated it to Moses (Exodus 24:12), who wrote it (Deuteronomy 31:24).

The Israelites will take the land of Canaan (Deuteronomy 31:16)There will be an Israelite monarchy (Deuteronomy 17)Some of the Israelites will stray after the Canaanite gods (Deuteronomy 31:16)There will be true prophets (Deuteronomy 18) and false ones (ibid ch.13)The Israelites will eventually be exiled, widely scattered and reviled (Deuteronomy 28)The Jews will regain the land of Israel (Deuteronomy 30)Every one of these prophecies has been fulfilled.
Moses wrote the Torah (Deuteronomy 31:24) as dictated to him by God (Exodus 24:12).
The Torah was written by Moses (Deuteronomy 31: 9, 24), while the other books of the Tanakh were penned by the prophets.
Moses wrote the entire Torah, as stated explicitly (Deuteronomy 31: 9, 24) and as dictated to him by God (ibid., ch. 1).
Shortly before his death, he wrote (Deuteronomy 31:24) Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. One traditional source (Talmud, Bava Batra 14b) also ascribes the book of Job to Moses.
The fifth book of the Bible is Deuteronomy.In my New American standard bible, Deuteronomy is the 5th chapter.
