La Torah

The Torah comes from the Hebrew Torah, which can be translated "direction", "teaching" or "law" (Proverbs 1: 8; 3: 1; 28: 4).

The above examples show how this word "Torah" is used in the Scriptures.

The Torah is used to refer to the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

The set of these books is also known as the Pentateuch, which means "fivefold volume" in Greek.

Since it was Moses who wrote the Torah, it is also called “the book of the law of Moses” (Joshua 8:31; Nehemiah 8: 1).

For Judaism, the Torah is the Law. According to Jewish tradition, it involves the totality of divine revelation and teaching given to the people of Israel.

According to the Hebrew tradition, the five books of the Pentateuch were written by Moses, who received the revelation directly from God on Mount Sinai, which is why it is defined as the "instruction given by God to his people, through Moses."

The Torah may also refer to the laws the Israelites received on specific matters, such as “the law [Torah] of the sin offering,” “the law regarding leprosy,” and “the law regarding the Nazarite” (Leviticus 6 : 25; 14:57; Numbers 6:13).

Sometimes the Torah refers to the direction and teaching given by parents, wise persons, or God Himself (Proverbs 1: 8; 3: 1; 13:14; Isaiah 2: 3).

What the Torah contains:

-The history of God's relationship with humanity from creation to the death of Moses (Genesis 1:27, 28; Deuteronomy 34: 5).

-The norms of the Law of Moses (Exodus 24: 3).
