From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Pentateuch       the five-fold volume, consisting of the first five books of the       Old Testament. This word does not occur in Scripture, nor is it       certainly known when the roll was thus divided into five       portions Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy.       Probably that was done by the LXX. translators. Some modern       critics speak of a Hexateuch, introducing the Book of Joshua as       one of the group. But this book is of an entirely different       character from the other books, and has a different author. It       stands by itself as the first of a series of historical books       beginning with the entrance of the Israelites into Canaan. (See {JOSHUA}.)                The books composing the Pentateuch are properly but one book,       the "Law of Moses," the "Book of the Law of Moses," the "Book of       Moses," or, as the Jews designate it, the "Torah" or "Law." That       in its present form it "proceeds from a single author is proved       by its plan and aim, according to which its whole contents refer       to the covenant concluded between Jehovah and his people, by the       instrumentality of Moses, in such a way that everything before       his time is perceived to be preparatory to this fact, and all       the rest to be the development of it. Nevertheless, this unity       has not been stamped upon it as a matter of necessity by the       latest redactor: it has been there from the beginning, and is       visible in the first plan and in the whole execution of the       work.", Keil, Einl. i.d. A. T.                A certain school of critics have set themselves to reconstruct       the books of the Old Testament. By a process of "scientific       study" they have discovered that the so-called historical books       of the Old Testament are not history at all, but a miscellaneous       collection of stories, the inventions of many different writers,       patched together by a variety of editors! As regards the       Pentateuch, they are not ashamed to attribute fraud, and even       conspiracy, to its authors, who sought to find acceptance to       their work which was composed partly in the age of Josiah, and       partly in that of Ezra and Nehemiah, by giving it out to be the       work of Moses! This is not the place to enter into the details       of this controversy. We may say frankly, however, that we have       no faith in this "higher criticism." It degrades the books of       the Old Testament below the level of fallible human writings,       and the arguments on which its speculations are built are       altogether untenable.                The evidences in favour of the Mosaic authorship of the       Pentateuch are conclusive. We may thus state some of them       briefly:                (1.) These books profess to have been written by Moses in the       name of God (Ex. 17:14; 24:3, 4, 7; 32:7-10, 30-34; 34:27; Lev.       26:46; 27:34; Deut. 31:9, 24, 25).                (2.) This also is the uniform and persistent testimony of the       Jews of all sects in all ages and countries (comp. Josh. 8:31,       32; 1 Kings 2:3; Jer. 7:22; Ezra 6:18; Neh. 8:1; Mal. 4:4; Matt.       22:24; Acts 15:21).                (3.) Our Lord plainly taught the Mosaic authorship of these       books (Matt. 5:17, 18; 19:8; 22:31, 32; 23:2; Mark 10:9; 12:26;       Luke 16:31; 20:37; 24:26, 27, 44; John 3:14; 5:45, 46, 47; 6:32,       49; 7:19, 22). In the face of this fact, will any one venture to       allege either that Christ was ignorant of the composition of the       Bible, or that, knowing the true state of the case, he yet       encouraged the people in the delusion they clung to?                (4.) From the time of Joshua down to the time of Ezra there       is, in the intermediate historical books, a constant reference       to the Pentateuch as the "Book of the Law of Moses." This is a       point of much importance, inasmuch as the critics deny that       there is any such reference; and hence they deny the historical       character of the Pentateuch. As regards the Passover, e.g., we       find it frequently spoken of or alluded to in the historical       books following the Pentateuch, showing that the "Law of Moses"       was then certainly known. It was celebrated in the time of       Joshua (Josh. 5:10, cf. 4:19), Hezekiah (2 Chr. 30), Josiah (2       Kings 23; 2 Chr. 35), and Zerubbabel (Ezra 6:19-22), and is       referred to in such passages as 2 Kings 23:22; 2 Chr. 35:18; 1       Kings 9:25 ("three times in a year"); 2 Chr. 8:13. Similarly we       might show frequent references to the Feast of Tabernacles and       other Jewish institutions, although we do not admit that any       valid argument can be drawn from the silence of Scripture in       such a case. An examination of the following texts, 1 Kings 2:9;       2 Kings 14:6; 2 Chr. 23:18; 25:4; 34:14; Ezra 3:2; 7:6; Dan.       9:11, 13, will also plainly show that the "Law of Moses" was       known during all these centuries.                Granting that in the time of Moses there existed certain oral       traditions or written records and documents which he was       divinely led to make use of in his history, and that his writing       was revised by inspired successors, this will fully account for       certain peculiarities of expression which critics have called       "anachronisms" and "contradictions," but in no way militates       against the doctrine that Moses was the original author of the       whole of the Pentateuch. It is not necessary for us to affirm       that the whole is an original composition; but we affirm that       the evidences clearly demonstrate that Moses was the author of       those books which have come down to us bearing his name. The       Pentateuch is certainly the basis and necessary preliminary of       the whole of the Old Testament history and literature. (See {DEUTERONOMY}.)
