Tradition says that Moses wrote 5 books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.

However, there is no claim as to authorship made within the books themselves. Modern scholars who support the Sources Theory say that the Pentateuch had several authors and was only written during the first millennium BCE, a view that is also accepted by some Christians. After all, a late date for the Pentateuch does not undermine the message of The Bible.

A:Traditionally, Moses is thought to have written the first five books of the Old Testament, known to Christians as the Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy).

However, it is the strong consensus of biblical scholars that Moses did not write any of the Old Testament, and that the scriptures only began to be written many centuries after the time attributed to Moses. On this evidence, Moses did not write any books.

How did Moses write the first books of the Bible and write of his own death?

The first five books of the Bible, known collectively as the Pentateuch, are traditionally attributed to Moses. A well known problem with this is that the Pentateuch reports the death of Moses. One solution put forward is that God told Moses of his own future, while another, more plausible solution is that The Pentateuch was completed after his death. Another, less well known problem with authorship by Moses is that his own father-in-law is given three different names in different places. You would expect that Moses would at least know the name of his own father-in-law! In fact, scholars tell us that the Pentateuch had not one, but four different authors, and was written many centuries after the time attributed to Moses. This is why there are so many 'doublets' - passages written twice and in each case somewhat differently. It is also the reason that the writing style changes from place to place, and why early Hebrew is mixed with a later version of the Hebrew language. Moses did not write the first books of the Bible and, of course, did not write of his own death.
