The Pentateuch of Moses Torah

The Pentateuch of Moses (Hebrew חֲמִשָּׁה חֻמְשֵׁי תּוֹרָה - Hamish of Humus Thor or Hebrew חֻמָּשׁ - Humash), the so-called Mosaic Law, is the first five books of the canonical Jewish and Christian Bible: Brayishit (Genesis), Shmot (Exodus), Vaikra (Leviticus ), Bemidbar (Numbers) and Devarim (Deuteronomy). The Pentateuch forms the first part of the Jewish Tanakh - Torah.
