The Pentateuch, derived from the Greek word meaning "five books," refers to the first five books of the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

It is also known as the Torah in Jewish tradition, a term meaning "instruction" or "law," and is considered the foundational text of Judaism.

The Pentateuch presents a unified narrative beginning with the creation of the world and the establishment of God's covenant with humanity, culminating in the Israelites' preparation to enter the Promised Land after their exodus from Egypt.

Traditionally, Jewish and Christian belief attributes the authorship of the Pentateuch to Moses, though modern scholarly analysis suggests it was compiled from multiple sources over several centuries, with the final form likely shaped during the Babylonian exile or afterward.
