Description:

The Torah : the five books of Moses : a new translation of the Holy Scriptures according to the Masoretic text.

Includes bibliographical references









The word “Torah,” in its narrow sense, refers to the Five Books of Moses. In a broader sense, however, Torah includes the entire Written Law (Tanach), and the entire Oral Law (Mishnah, Talmud, Midrash). In the broadest sense, Torah refers to the entire body of Jewish writings and thought, including the works of commentators throughout the ages. 

Genesis--In the Beginning.  Creation and The Covenant between the People and God.

Exodus--Exile, slavery, suffering.  The names of the people who entered Egypt with Jacob. The Ten Commandments, The Tabernacle.

Leviticus--God calls to Moses and details all the rules.

Numbers--Travels in the 40-year sojourn in the desert. The census of the tribes, Korach's rebellion, the settlement of the East Bank of the Jordan river.

Deuteronomy--Final Words of Moses.  Rebuke, encouragement, warnings, new rules and a refreshed judicial system.  A copy of the Torah goes to each tribe and one to the Ark of the Covenant.
