@ I like this source if you haven't seen it before - it seems to
back up a lot of what you've said:

The Making of the OT:

Before Moses

What we are looking for in this section is data concerning HOW and TO
WHAT EXTENT historical information passed down to Moses, the content
originator of the first five books of the Bible.

----------
Note: The authorship of the first five books of the Bible (or at
least much of the content of them) is ascribed to Moses by Jesus.
This is BY FAR the most important reason to take traditional Mosaic
authorship issues seriously. The antiquity and historical
trustworthiness of the Pentateuch is taught very clearly by our Lord.
Consider these 'controversial' events as referred to by Jesus: [snip]

Summary: The data indicates a reliable stream of information, from
earliest times down to at least the time of Moses. The historical
particulars reflect a pre-mosaic time and indicate a fixity and
reliability of transmission.
