The Pentateuch has been traditionally attributed to Moses, but there is nothing to say that Moses ever claimed to have written it. Scholars say that the Pentateuch was written many centuries after the time of Moses, if he even really lived.
The Pentateuch, also known as the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, was traditionally attributed to Moses. However, modern scholars tend to view the Pentateuch as a compilation of different sources and authors over a period of time.
There are no books in the Book of Psalms that are directly attributed to Moses. However, some Psalms are traditionally associated with him, such as Psalm 90, which is known as a prayer of Moses. Moses is also traditionally considered the author of the first five books of the Bible, known as the Pentateuch or the Torah, rather than the Psalms.

A:Since well before the beginning of the Common Era and until perhaps the last two centuries, the author of the Pentateuch was almost universally said to be Moses, the central character in four of the five books.

These sources are now known as the Yahwist, the Elohist, the Deuteronomist and the Priestly Source.
