(i) We don't certainly know when these Books were written by Moses.] Some say that Genesis was written by Moses, after the departure out of Egypt; so Pererius and Tena. 'Tis most proba∣ble, that all of them were written after the depar∣ture out of Egypt, and particularly that Genesis was composed after the Promulgation of the Law. This is the Opinion of Eusebius and the Ancients, and indeed we find in Genesis several Allusions to the Law; as for example, in Chap. 2. there is mention made of the Law of the Sab∣bath; and in the 7th and 8th Chapters of clean and unclean Beasts: Which are sufficient Intima∣tions that Moses wrote those things, when his Thoughts were full of the Law then newly made. Deuteronomy is the last, for besides that it is a Re∣petition of what we find in the Law, it plainly tells us, that Moses spoke those things to the People of Israel when they were ready to go o∣ver Jordan. To this we may add, that he there relates whatever happen'd towards the end of his Life; and lastly, that the Account of his Death is inserted there, as being his last Work.
