Deciphering Deuteronomy - EP. 7〚 Is the Law Code Post-Mosaic? 〛Pentateuch: A New Look In 622 BCE, a scroll discovered in the Temple during the reign of King Josiah sparked a series of religious reforms that altered the course of Israelite history. Scholars have long linked this discovery with the Book of Deuteronomy, particularly its central legal section (chapters 12-26). But what does this connection reveal? Was this scroll an ancient Mosaic text or a forged document designed to legitimize Josiah’s sweeping reforms?

Let's investigate the evidence together.
