There are actually only 5 books of Moses called the Pentateuch, The Law, The Books of the Law, or the Torah. No one is for sure who wrote the books but Moses is the most popular choice. The Torah is a written account of God reaching out to man. It contains the Laws in which we should obey to serve God in his image.

It is not 7 books, it is 5 Books of Moses
Ezra was "a skilled scribe in the Law of Moses" (Ezra 7:6). The New Testament tells us that Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and many scriptures show us that Moses was responsible for the first five books of the Bible. These books are usually called the Torah, a Hebrew term, and sometimes referred to as the Pentateuch, a Greek expression. According to Jewish tradition, another hand, possibly that of Joshua or Ezra, added the account of Moses' death to the end of Deuteronomy—and made other adjustments to complete the text we read today.
Early Jewish tradition is unanimous in accepting Moses' authorship of the Torah. The last of these books tells us that this prophet wrote the law in a book and gave it to the priests so they could read it to the people (Deuteronomy 31:9-13). It was also placed at the side of the ark of the covenant (verse 26). Although it is presented in five parts, the Torah is one integral book.
"Then the LORD said to Moses, 'Write this for a memorial in the book' . . ." (Exodus 17:14).
"Then the LORD said to Moses, 'Write these words' . . ." (Exodus 34:27).
"And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD" (Exodus 24:4). Although these are limited commands to write specific portions of God's Word, the principle is clear. Moses is the prophetic scribe through whom God worked. Remember that he "was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds" (Acts 7:22).
"Now Moses wrote down the starting points of their journeys at the command of the LORD" (Numbers 33:2).

There are 5 books of Moses. The Torah-Teaching (Commonly called Law).
Book 1 Bereshith (Genesis)
Book 2 Shemoth (Exodus)
Book 3 Wayyiqra (Leviticus)
Book 4 Bemidbar (Numbers)
Book 5 Debarim (Deuteronomy)
I have learned a lot from the reading I do. I read a Hebrew Scriptures. It's not translated for Hebrew, to Greek, then to English. It's translated for Hebrew to English. You lose a lot of meaning, when translated to Greek then to English. The Scriptures I read has both Old and New Testament. Known as the Pre-Messianic Scriptures. Torah, Nebiim-Prophets, Kethubim-Writings, which is known as the Old Testament and the The Messianic Writings, which is known as the New Testament. It list the books in both Hebrew and English.

The five Books written down by Moses are referred to as the "Pentateuch." They are: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. These Books are believed by Jews, Messianic Jews and Christians to have been dictated to Moses directly by God.
* Genesis describes how the earth, universe and all life came to be create; it also details early human history and the Great Flood;
* Exodus describes the freedom of the Jews from slavery to the Egyptians;
* Leviticus is the first source of Jewish Law;
* Numbers details the first Jewish census and contains still more Laws;
* Deuteronomy contains even more Laws; Moses dies near the end of this Book and God names Joshua as his replacement. Most believe God dictated the remainder of this book to Joshua following Moses' death.
There are a total of 613 Laws contained within these last three Books.
I hope this helps.

Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Bible. They are Genesis, (a lot of history), Exodus(when the Israelites left Egypt), Leviticus (concerning laws and how to live), Numbers(who left, names of people in families), and Deuteronomy( more law).
Moses also wrote some Psalms (songs)

The 5 books of Moses are the foundation for the Hebrew religion (Judaism).
No one knows who wrote them, or when they written. They appear to have been written somewhere between 1,000 and 500 BCE.
We do know that Moses did not write them because they tell of his death and events after his death.
There is no credible evidence to support the claim Moses existed at all.

it is the Law handed down to the israelites...many were Laws they insisted upon..like those of divorce..though God Himself hated it! the main Laws - the commandments came directly from God on the mount sinai...others were revealed through prophets and the levites, priestly tribe, and written to pass on from generation to generation
