ResumoThe author of the Pentateuch is famously unknown. There are various ancient speculations about the relative roles of God and Moses in the production of the text, 1 and there is a plethora of modern investigations into the Bible's constituent documents and the authors responsible for them, but the biblical text itself is silent. The biblical narrator never identifies himself or herself 2 and never narrates in the first person; rather he or she speaks “out of the void, in an authoritative voice that masks any authorial presence.” 3
