The first five books of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) are:
- Bereisheet (Genesis)
- Shemot (Exodus)
- Vayikra (Leviticus)
- Bamidbar (Numbers)
- Devarim (Deuteronomy)
These 5 books are called the Torah in Hebrew which means "teaching" or "law" or "instruction".
The Christian names for the books are derived from the Greek Septuagint and reflect the essential theme of each book :
- Genesis: "origin"
- Exodus: Exodos, "going out"
- Leviticus: Leuitikos, "relating to the Levites"
- Numbers: Arithmoi, contains a record of the numbering of the Israelites in the wilderness of Sinai and later on the plain of Moab.
- Deuteronomy: Deuteronomion, "second law", refers to the fifth book's repetition of the commandments, reviewed by Moses before his death.
