Torah (תורה) or Chumash (חומש)
Pentateuch is the Greek name for the first 5 books of the Hebrew Bible. Hebrew scriptures as canon are divided into 3 sections, and Pentateuch is the first. They are the uniform writings ascribed to Moses. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. They are the Law division of their Bible. There are even some Jewish groups who believe the Pentateuch is the most important - or perhaps the only important - part of their holy writings since they were ascribed to Moses himself.
