Richard Friedman argues in his book; Who Wrote the Bible? that Ezra is the one who redacted the Torah, and in fact effectively produced the first Torah.
After the division of the kingdom of the children of Israel into a northern kingdom (Israel) and a southern kingdom (Judah) in approximately 930 BC, the competing Levitical priests in the north and south began writing down what they had obtained from the date of the beginning of creation and the prophets. The Mosaic priests in Shiloh in the Northern Kingdom wrote what is known as the Elohistic text or source, which uses the Hebrew word “Elohim” to refer to the Lord, and symbolizes this text with the first letter (E). As for the Aaronic priests in the southern kingdom “Judah,” they wrote the “Jahwistic” text, which refers to the Lord as “Jehovah,” and is symbolized by (J).
