• Bible Book Number 2—Exodus
    “All Scripture Is Inspired of God and Beneficial”

    • 3. (a) How do we know that Moses was the writer of Exodus? (b) When was Exodus written, and what period does it cover?

      3 Moses is the writer of Exodus, as is indicated by its being the second volume of the Pentateuch. The book itself registers three instances of Moses’ making a written record at the direction of Jehovah. (17:14; 24:4; 34:27) According to Bible scholars Westcott and Hort, Jesus and the writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures quote or refer to Exodus more than 100 times, as when Jesus said: “Moses gave you the Law, did he not?”
