Changes

The '''Torah ''' (or also known as '''Books of the Law'''; '''Books of Moses'''; or the Law'''Pentateuch''') are the first five books of the [[Bible]]. The first book, [[Genesis]], tells about the creation of the universe and [[God]] choosing a person ([[Abraham]]) to be the father of his people. The next four books ([[Exodus]] to [[Deuteronomy]]) describe God saving his people from slavery in [[Egypt]] and giving them the law by which they were to live, including the [[Ten Commandments]]. The word Torah itself actually means "teaching" or "instruction" or "law" in [[Hebrew]].  The Torah is considered among the holiest of religious texts to the [[Judaism|Jews]] while [[Christians]] tend to emphasize the Gospels over the Books of Moses (since the Old Testament covenant no longer applies).

Traditionally, [[Moses]] is believed to be have authored a majority of the five books. The final chapter of Deuteronomy speaks of Moses' dead and was certainly written by a different authoralthough Moses authored a vast majority of the book and the entirety of the first 4 books.
