Let's be clear: No academic biblical scholars outside of fundamentalist settings maintain that Moses wrote the Pentateuch (first five books of the Bible).
In fact, there is "undeniable evidence" that these books were written by multiple authors over different time periods and then woven together.
This isn't controversial - it's taught in every mainstream seminary. So when you say "Moses said," you're starting from a historically incorrect premise. Perhaps we should focus less on wielding ancient texts whose authorship we misattribute, and more on understanding their historical context and the complexity of human dignity.
