A: Moses is traditionally said to have written the first five books of The Bible (the Books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy). There is no actual evidence in these books that Moses did write them, but it is generally recognised by conservative Christians and Jews alike that only Moses could have known much of what is contained in those books, and that later authorship would be evidence of potential unreliability.

Some say that Moses was able to write about his own death because God told him how he would die, even before it happened. Some others say that Joshua wrote the passages that refer to Moses' death. Others say that, whether or not Moses was a real, historical character, the evidence is that the books were actually written by multiple authors long after the time attributed to Moses. What is well established by linguistic experts is that no one living at the time of Moses could have written in the Hebrew language, as this language only evolved from a dialect of Canaanite late in the tenth century BCE.
