Do we just take Moses' word for it?

Well, by that reckoning, how can we be sure that the 10 Words were actually the right ones given to Moses on Mt. Sinai?
I mean, he could've been making it all up, and how about the first five books of the bible? (torah)
He is allegedly the author of those too.

Maybe because the first time God uses that name, his statement is "I am the God of Araham Isaac and Jacob." The words "I am" in that sentence being the Hebrew Yahweh/Jehovah. Why accept the God called himself Yahewh, and reject the rest of the sentence?
Plus everything else said to Moses was based on the convenant that had been cut by Abraham and his God.

Long before Moses ever lived, Israelites and others knew the name of Abraham's God because Abraham preserved it in geographic place-names.
(Genesis 22:14) Abraham began to call the name of that place Jehovah-jireh. This is why it is customarily said today: “In the mountain of Jehovah it will be provided.”
When the Israelites left Egypt, there were likely MILLIONS of them. All of them had heard these things from their parents and grandparents.
(Exodus 12:37-38) And the sons of Israel proceeded to depart...to the number of six hundred thousand able-bodied men on foot...And a vast mixed company also went up with them

What was the nationality of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?
I wouldn't take Moses' word for anything. He said that god changed his rod into a snake and back into a rod; and made his arm leprosic and then normal again.

Because Jesus talk about Moses and he used the name of his father maybe in the translation we use now is erase it but that doesn´t mean that he did´n´t use (John 17:6,26)

Moses wasn't a liar.
Although you could ask Abraham or Isaac.
NO! WAIT! They're dead.
Ask Jacob ....ooops.
Ask any of Jacob's 12 sons. Damn!
Hey! I know .....ask a Jew.

Him, and all the prophets, and Jesus as well.
They were no more confused about who they were talking to and representing than you are of the identity of your own parents.
