The multi-author nature of the text of the Hebrew Bible has led biblical scholars to postulate its creation by centuries of writers who collected, compiled, revised, edited, and interpreted ancient traditions.

Biblical scholars have deduced that Deuteronomy, which calls itself Scroll of the Torah, was edited centuries after the purported Moses made sermons on behalf of Yahweh. The book of Deuteronomy is attributed to a group that scholars call the Deuteronomic or Deuteronomistic School. The Deuteronomists modified pre-existing, Covenant Code laws in light of new, more humanitarian ideas.

After the fall of the Northern Kingdom in 722 BCE, King Josiah supposedly found the Scroll of the Torah when the temple was being refurbished. Josiah's subsequent reforms, around 622 BCE, are recorded in 2 Kings. Measures were taken to stamp out Baal worship and to centralize Yahwism.
