Did Moses really write the Book of Genesis?

We also saw how Setswana unearths or confirms the etymology and true meaning of key terms like gods (Illui), Lulu, Adam, Eve, Eden and Paradise. This week we examine more closely Moses himself and whether he indeed wrote Genesis, as it is commonly held.

 Who was Moses? Moses, it is clear, was born and bred in Egypt. There, his name mose meant “issue of”, as Setswana reveals: mose-mani (boy) literally meant “the greater issue” and mose-zana (girl) meant “the lesser issue”.  As such, “Thothmoses” meant “son of Thoth” and “Rameses” (Ra-moses) meant “son of Ra”. These throne-names were adopted because pharaohs were treated as honorific “sons of the gods”. Quite clearly, the monotheistic Old Testament (OT) chose to cut off the name of a “pagan” god, leaving only the truncated name “Moses” – but we can still trace and unmask his real identity.
