GENESIS

The first book of the Torah is called Bereshith (Genesis) and contains only three laws. It traces the primeval history of the world starting with the creation of the world, Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, Cain and Abel and Noah and the flood. Afterwards the focus shifts to the history of the Children of Israel covering the three patriarchs; Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and the four matriarchs; Sarah, Rebekah, Leah and Rachel. It concludes with the rivalry between Jacob's ten sons and his favoured son Joseph.

EXODUS
The Book of Exodus is the second book of the Bible and describes the Exodus, which includes the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt through the hand of Yahweh, the revelations at biblical Mount Sinai, and the subsequent "divine indwelling" of God with Israel.

LEVITICUS
The Book of Leviticus is the third book of the Torah and of the Old Testament; scholars generally agree that it developed over a long period of time, reaching its present form during the Persian Period between 538-332 BC.
NUMBERS

The Book of Numbers is the fourth book of the Hebrew Bible, and the fourth of five books of the Jewish Torah. The book has a long and complex history; its final form is possibly due to a Priestly redaction of a Yahwistic source made some time in the early Persian period


DEUTERONOMY

The Book of Deuteronomy is the fifth book of the Jewish Torah, where it is called Devarim, "the words [of Moses]". Deutero means and Nomos. Chapters 1–30 of the book consist of three sermons or speeches delivered to the Israelites by Moses on the plains of Moab, shortly before they enter the Promised Land.
