These books are often referred to as the "Five Books of Moses," or, in Hebrew, the (c)humash, meaning "The Five." The first five books together with those of the Old Testament that follow them are called in Hebrew the "Tana(c)h." This is an acronym of "Torah, Nevi-im, Ketubim," meaning "the Law, the Prophets, the Writings."
The set of laws is called halacha (this Hebrew word means, approximately, the way).
