The Torah (the Five Books of Moses) consists of the following books:
1) Bereisheet (Genesis)
2) Shemot (Exodus)
3) Vayikra (Leviticus)
4) Bamidbar (Numbers)
5) Devarim (Deuteronomy).The Christian Bible also has these five books.

The difference is that the Torah is only in the original Hebrew. Any translation, such as these books as they are found in the Christian Bible (or any other translation of them), is lacking. The Hebrew contains layers of meaning, alluded to by juxtaposition, repetition, "full" or "short" spellings of the same word, larger and smaller letters, etc., all of which are lost in translation.
