Authorship and Composition of the Pentateuch
The Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch and the later editorial additions by Joshua or others (Moses's death, the praise of his meekness, the name Dan, etc.). Moses wrote the Pentateuch as a diary or annals, learning these things partly by tradition, partly by divine revelation, partly by eyewitness observation.
