The Torah isn't a mere story. It is given from God (Exodus 24:12) and provides knowledge, guidance, inspiration, awe and reverence, advice, law, comfort, history and more. It is the basis of Judaism.

In its narrative portions, the Torah contains the following.

  • Genesis:

The Torah describes God's creation of the world and living things (Genesis ch.1), mankind (ch.1-2), the first sin (ch.3), the great Flood (ch.6-8), the family trees (ch.4, 5,10-11, 25), the lives of Abraham (ch.11-25), Isaac (ch.26-7), Jacob (ch.25-50), and Joseph (ch.37-50);Link: More about Genesis

  • Exodus:
The life of Moses (Exodus ch.2...), the slavery in Egypt (Exodus ch.1 and 5), the Plagues (ibid. ch.7-12), the Exodus (ch.12), the Crossing of the split Sea of Reeds (ch.14), the Manna (ch.16), the Revelation at Mount Sinai (ch.19), the Covenant (ch.19 and 24), the building of the Tabernacle (ch.35-40);

  • Leviticus:

The inauguration of the Tabernacle (ch.8-9).

  • Numbers:

The censuses (Numbers ch.1-3 and 26), the initiation-offerings (Numbers 7-8), the quail (Numbers ch.11), the incident of the Spies (Numbers ch.13-14), the Sabbath-violator (Numbers 15), the rebellion of Korach (ch.16), the death of Miriam (ch.20) and Aaron (ch.21), war (ibid), the attempted curses of Bil'am (ch.22-24), choosing Moses' successor (Numbers 27), the war against Midian (ch.31), dividing the Transjordan (Numbers 32), and the travels (Numbers 33).

  • Deuteronomy:

The death of Moses (Deuteronomy ch.34).
