Even if Joshua or someone else actually wrote the original manuscripts, the teaching and revelation can be traced from God through Moses. While there are some verses in the Pentateuch that would appear to have been added by someone later than Moses, for example, Deuteronomy 34:5–8, which describes the death and burial of Moses, most if not all scholars attribute the majority of these books to Moses. Even though the books of the Pentateuch themselves do not clearly identify the author, there are many passages that attribute them to Moses or as being his words (Exodus 17:14, 24:4–7 Numbers 33:1–2 Deuteronomy 31:9–22). The Pentateuch is the first five books of the Bible that conservative Bible scholars believe were mostly written by Moses.
