EXODUS

Group: LAW 2nd / 5 books of the Law
Authorship credited to: Moses

  • “Exodus has been attributed to Moses since the time of Joshua (Ex 20:25 with Josh 8:30-32). Other biblical writers attribute Exodus to Moses: Malachi (Mal 4:4), the disciples (John 1:45), and Paul (Rom 10:5). This is also the testimony of Jesus (Mark 7:10; 12:26; Luke 20:37; John 5:46-47; 7:19; 22-23). Jewish and Samaritan traditions consistently hold to the Mosaic authorship of Exodus.”

JUDGES
