The Torah (תורה), also called the Pentateuch, is the main section of the Hebrew Bible. It is comprised of the five Books of Moses (also called the Books of the Law). The Torah was given by God to Moses (Exodus 24:12), who transmitted it to the people and wrote it (Deuteronomy 31:24). Its chief purpose is to teach the laws of Judaism; and it also teaches us historical highlights, attitudes, guidance, beliefs and more.

1-5: The Torah (the Five Books of Moses):

• Bereisheet (Genesis)

• Shemot (Exodus)

• Vayikra (Leviticus)

• Bamidbar (Numbers)

• Devarim (Deuteronomy)
