Bible Question: who rote the book of genesis |
Bible Answer: Here are two ideas as to who wrote Genesis: 1. Genesis was primarily written by an author or group of authors known as J or the Yahwist writer(s). It was added to by a source known as E or the Elohist writer(s). This book was probably passed as an oral history for sometime before J began to write down his version possibly around 1000 BC. 2. Moses recieved the first five books (the Pentatauch) from God on Mount Sinai. |
