Torah

The Torah (/ˈtɔːrə, ˈtoʊrə/; Biblical Hebrew: תּוֹרָה‎ Tōrā, "Instruction", "Teaching" or "Law") is the compilation of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, namely the books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.^[1]

It is known as the Pentateuch (/ˈpɛntətjuːk/) or the Five Books of Moses by Christians.

It is also known as the Written Torah (תּוֹרָה שֶׁבִּכְתָב, Tōrā šebbīḵṯāv) in Jewish tradition.

If meant for liturgic purposes, it takes the form of a Torah scroll (Sefer Torah).

If in bound book form, it is called Chumash, and is usually printed with the rabbinic commentaries (perushim).
