There are good points here. I guess the word I was quibbling with was "wrote." I'd not deny Moses' influence on what went into Genesis, but I would likely deny that it was one coherent work rather than a patchwork of oral history that was accumulated into one "book" well after Moses' life. Especially when considering just how much territory the book of Genesis covers. It'd be weird if Moses wasn't somewhat instrumental in shaping a lot of this history given the role he played at a fairly pivotal choke point in the history while the bulk of the community was enslaved. But there were centuries after him of oral transmission, and some fairly striking different "voices" in the text that can be picked out, so it'd also be weird for it not to be quite so simple as "Moses wrote it."
That's a fair elaboration of nuance, and yes, my usage of "wrote" was reductive, but I think you characterized his role and influence well.

In fairness I sort of forgot who I was quibbling with when I raised issue haha, but you definitely didn't disappoint with your rationale.
You may already be aware, but just in case you're not, FYI I tried to zap but it didn't work. I tried a test zap elsewhere and it worked.
I'm aware that it's sometimes hit and miss -- I've gotten zaps today but you're definitely not the first to tell me it doesn't work. Probably pertains to my custodial wallet. I appreciate the gesture in any case -- one of these days either I'll get around to opening up some channels and making things work, or Phoenix or Zeus will integrate NWC support. In the meantime I'm at the mercy of speed wallet and their semi-functioning support.
