The Pentateuch of Moses (Hebrew חֲמִשָּׁה חֻמְשֵׁי תּוֹרָה - Hamish of Humus Thor or Hebrew חֻמָּשׁ - Humash), the so-called Mosaic Law, is the first five books of the canonical Jewish and Christian Bible: Brayishit (Genesis), Shmot (Exodus), Vaikra (Leviticus ), Bemidbar (Numbers) and Devarim (Deuteronomy). The Pentateuch forms the first part of the Jewish Tanakh - Torah. The word "Pentateuch" represents a literal translation from the Greek - πεντάτευχος from πεντε - "five" and τευχος - "volume of the book".

• The Book of Numbers narrates about the wanderings of Jews in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt;
