There was no certain writer.
But it's certain the Writer was Jewish..

Majority of Bible Scholars propose it was written in one of these 3 different periods
Early eight Century B.C( Around the Time of Isiah)
Mid-sixth Century B.C( After the Fall of Jerusalem )
The Fourth to third Century B.C(at the time of the 2nd Temple)

Moses wrote the book of Job. It was the intervention of the Holy Spirit the bible scholar and priest gathered the books(Scriptures) together because some of the wicked leaders then do not want the scriptures to be written. So the book of Job was found inside the rock where they hid it. Job exists before Noah

I believe Paul wrote the book of Hebrews. It is true that some don't agree, but I believe he is the one evidently.

Job was the first book of the Bible to be written..I doubt if it was written by a Jew..the fact being that the God revernced in it was Marduk..in the original language..I think it is of Babylonian origin...
Re: Major Facts And Figures About The Bible You Should Know by sonmvayina(m): 1:24pm On Apr 29, 2020
The Torah (ie Genesis to Deuteronomy) was written by Ezra.it is the book of the law.it was written just before the Jews left the Babylonian exils.It was Cyrus who commanded him to write it since he was familiar with the laws of God..it was Ezra who created Judaism as a religion....moses and the likes are all characters in the story...
