Welcome to the Judaism community on Codidact!
Will you help us build our community of learners? Drop into our study hall, ask questions, help others with answers to their questions, share a d'var torah if you're so inclined, invite your friends, and join us in building this community together. Not an ask-the-rabbi service, just people at all levels learning together.
When did the Torah become the Torah scroll we recognize?
At what point did a sefer torah start to look like the sefer torah that we know?
When Moshe wrote the torah, did he do so as a sofer, requiring kavanot and immersion and sirtutim and a particular kind of ink? Was the sefer attached to wooden staves?
I looked at the DSS and didn't see sirtutim?
Are the laws of safrut something that go back in time and were applicable as soon as the torah was given, or were they given (or developed?) later, when the sefer became more than just an accounting of historical events and became a centerpiece in a shul?
