The myth of Moses the Lawgiver has grown over the past two thousand years, evolving through gospel-like accounts from Hellenistic Jewish writers and even the cinematic epic The Ten Commandments. But the canonical story of Moses—as found in the first five books of the Bible—was itself the product of earlier stories, assembled by an unnamed, undated compiler.
