       probably most of the bible started as oral tradition so written vs oral law is very misleading

       @georgia hmmm i mean, written vs oral law is based on the tradition that Moses was given the full Torah at Sinai and was the writer of the written Torah I think? you could say the opposite thing about the fact that the oral law was written down eventually

       @nautilus "Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one. And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart..." (btw I can chant the ve'ahavta in original hebrew)"For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not too hard for thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say: 'Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?' Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say: 'Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?' But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.""But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."

       @ug @unmind mosaic authorship of the whole torah was a relatively late development

       @ug @georgia the torah only contains genesis to deuteronomy, so while it is weird that he wrote about his own death, the torah ends with it so there isn't very much about his descendants. but yeah idk where the tradition comes from. it's weird he wrote in the third person but maybe that was common back then

       @nautilus I havent read the book of job because I am one of the people who doesnt like the story. but I realize it addresses a certain need for people who dont understand Gods perfect justice and perfect mercy. my philosophy is that God is a teacher, not a tester.
