The Torah - The Books - The Journey of Humanity
Names of the first 5 books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.
According to Jewish tradition the Torah was revealed to Moses, in 1312 BCE at Mount Sinai. The Zohar, the most significant text in Jewish mysticism, states that the Torah was created prior to the creation of the world, and that it was used as the blueprint for Creation. Outside of its central significance in Judaism, the Torah is accepted by Christianity as part of the Christian Bible, comprising the first five books of the Old Testament. It is also accepted in the religion of Islam as a Holy Book, although it is believed by Muslims to have been modified or corrupted after the death of Moses.
