What you're saying is that outside of a couple of stone tablets (possibly) God didn't do much writing Himself but he certainly inspired Moses to do some serious writing.
At the same time there are materials in those first 5 books that are clearly "history", not just "inspired" spiritual content. Makes Moses a writer, editor AND, of course, a publisher!

No, thats not what I'm saying.
If I said,
hey, muawiyah, write the following down, and then commenced speaking, would I be inspiring you?
Or would I be giving you a word for word dictation of what I wanted you to write down.

No argument there.
My point was that a good chunk of it is a historical record of when God said,
hey, Moses, write this down, and Moses, being a generally smart guy when it came to knowing what was good for him, wrote down what God said... (ie, God dictating to Moses what He wanted written)
