Since antiquity, the five books of Moses have served as a sacred
constitution, foundational for both Jews and Samaritans. However
long the process of accepting the Pentateuch as authoritative tora
("instruction") took, this was by all accounts a monumental
achievement in the history of these peoples and indeed an important
moment in the history of the ancient world. In the long development
of Western societies, the Pentateuch has served as a major
influence on the development of law, political philosophy, and
social thought. The question is: how, where, and why did this
process of acceptance occur, when did it occur, and how long did it
take?
