A:

The laws in the Pentateuch are traditionally accepted as having been written down, at God's command, by Moses. However, modern scholars say the Pentateuch was actually written many centuries after the time attributed to Moses.

Many of the Hebrew laws found in The Bible were created during the Babylonian Exile and were written down by the anonymous source now known as the Priestly Source. We do not know specifically who this source was, but the laws were created to help support and justify a theocracy.

Others laws evolved and were written down during the monarchical period in the first millennium BCE.
