One of the funnier moments I ever had in Bible class was reading in Exodus

was that Moses is the author of that book. Pretty sure he was jabbing at

himself and having a giggle at his own expense.

Most Bible scholars believe that it was not written by Moses, but by people living after his time and edited together by a single person, usually called the "redactor". There are disagreements about which parts were written by whom, and who the redactor was.

Check out the book "Who Wrote the Bible?" It's a good read.

The "most humble man" line is still a good joke.


It's a bit like learned sages arguing over what colour dresses fairies
wear. Amusing but more revealing of them than the subject.
