TORAH: THE FIVE BOOKS OF MOSES AUDIO

Often referred to as Torah, especially when in scroll format, the Five Books of Moses are the foundation of Judaism. Until this very day, the text—which is written in Hebrew—has been carefully preserved by the Jewish people. It is also known as Chumash and Pentateuch (related to the respective Hebrew and Greek words for “five”).

As their name indicates, the Books were written by Moses, as dictated by G‑d Himself. Jewish people see every letter and every nuance as a sacred communication from G‑d, rife with significance and meaning. They contain 613 mitzvahs, Divine commandments that shape the life of Jewish people everywhere.

The five books are:

Bereishit (Genesis): The creation of the world and the early history of the Jewish nation, including the stories of Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham and Sarah, and Joseph.

Shemot (Exodus): The slavery in Egypt, the Exodus, the Giving of the Torah, and the building of the Tabernacle.

Vayikra (Leviticus): Deals with the Temple sacrifices, kosher, and other aspects of Jewish ritual life.

Bamidbar (Numbers): Many events that happened to the Israelites on their way to the promised land, including G‑d counting the people, the Spies debacle, the Korach uprising.

Devarim (Deuteronomy): Nearing the end of his 40 years of leadership, Moses speaks to the people, preparing them for life in the Promised Land.
