Conclusion


While scholars who believe in inerrancy debate which view is correct, they unanimously affirm that Moses was author of the Pentateuch although it may have had some additions and revisions by later scribal editors.


The fact that there are attempts to distinguish between inspired from non-inspired scribal activity reflects the
divine nature of this human book the Bible.


As testimony of the Pentateuch’s authority, consider the Septuagint, which was the Old Testament manuscript available during Jesus’ time. Despite its errors, which were considered human mistakes, the Septuagint never
lost its authority as it was quoted in the New Testament. And it is worthwhile to note that the New Testament
refers to most of the controversial passages of the Pentateuch.

But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise. This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants: one proceeding from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar. (Gal 4:21-24)
