Pentateuchhe name given to the first 5 books of the Hebrew Scriptures (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy). The word comes from two Greek words: penta (meaning five) and teuchos (meaning volumes). These books cover the time from creation through to the end of Moses' life, Moses being the author of all 5 books. These first five books of law are the foundation stones to all other Old and New Testament books. These books give to us the laws and ways of God, and demonstrate that He is One God and is personally interested in the everyday affairs of man.
