Pentateuch

The Pentateuch refers to the first five books of the Bible—Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. They lay the foundation of the Jewish and Christian religions, including the creation story, early history of humanity, the origins of Israel, laws, and teachings shared by these faiths. Traditionally attributed to Moses, these books contain religious history, moral guidelines, and covenant agreements between God and His people. They are central to understanding biblical history and theology, serving as a spiritual and cultural starting point for Jewish and Christian traditions.
