Personally, I think it has nothing to do with any putative Moses who was
supposed to have led an exodus from Egypt (evidence does not suggest the
historicity of such an event). It was a program piece which was written
to account for certain historical relationships and theological
positions. If it were merely an historical account, I would question its
value for anything more than antiquarian reasons. It would not have
appeared until after the monarchy was instituted.
