The Pentateuch is a collection of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, traditionally attributed to Moses. It includes Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, and outlines the creation of the world, the history of the Israelites, and the establishment of laws and covenants between God and His people. The Pentateuch serves as a foundational text for Judaism, providing religious, ethical, and cultural guidance. It also plays a significant role in Christianity and Islam.
