Before reading the book of numbers, please read the Wikipedia article here.
Numbers was definitely not written by Moses over a thousand years before the common era. It was most likely put together by priests in the 500's B.C.E. It's story begins at Mount Sinai and ends with the Israelites getting ready to enter into the promised land. The English name of the book reflects the counting of the Israelites in the story.
