With His Tears

According to classical rabbis, Moses simultaneously received the oral law, which served as the authoritative interpretations of the written law. The written Torah would include, according to all rabbinic sources (which are followed by the early church), even the book of Genesis, which represents God's narration to Moses of the early history of the world and of Abraham and his family. Some rabbinic sources even suggest that the final chapter of the Torah, Deut 34, which narrates the death of Moses, was dictated by God to Moses, who wrote it with his tears.

I love this and I choose to believe it.
