[[Moses]] is attributed as the author of the [[Torah]] in the Book of Exodus itself in Exodus 17:14, 24:4, 34:27-28, as well as in throughout the rest of the [[Torah]] in Numbers 32:2; Deuteronomy 1:1, 31:9, 31:22. D.K. Stuart, a well respected Old Testament scholar and author of a major commentary on the Book of Exodus states "These references to Mosaic authorship are substantial."<ref>Stuart, Douglas K. Exodus. Vol. 2. B&H Publishing Group, 2006, pp. 32-33</ref> The rest of the Old Testament also attests to Mosaic authorship over the Torah in Joshua 1:7, 8:32, 12:5; 1 Kings 2:3; 2 Kings 14:6, 23:25; Malachi 3:22; Daniel 9:11, 9:13; Ezra 3:2, 7:6; Nehemiah 8:1, 9:14; 2 Chronicles 23:18, 25:4, 30:16, 35:12, as well as the New Testament in Luke 2:22, 24:44; John 7:19; Acts 13:39, 15:5, 28:23; 1 Corinthians 9:9. Later Jewish historians, such as [[Josephus]] living in the first century AD further attribute Mosaic authorship to the Torah.<ref>Josephus, Flavius. The Works of Flavius Josephus. G. Routledge, 1873, p. 27</ref> The biblical references to the authorship of Moses over the Torah, both within and outside of the Torah are rather plenteous and more then enough to establish Moses as the historical author of these books.
