The '''Pentateuch''', also called the [[Torah]], is the first five books of the [[Bible]]: [[Genesis]], [[Exodus]], [[Leviticus]], [[Numbers]], and [[Deuteronomy]]. The Pentateuch narrates from the creation of the universe to the arrival of the Israelites in the land of [[Canaan]]. Many religious [[Christians]] and [[Jews]] believe that the Pentateuch was written by [[Moses]] with the text either inspired or dictated by [[God]]. Many secular scholars believe that the Pentateuch was compiled as part of four main sources [[J (Bible)|J]], [[E (Bible)|E]], [[P (Bible)|P]] and [[D (Bible)|D]].<ref>http://www.simpletoremember.com/vitals/Bible_Criticism_and_Its_Counterarguments.htm</ref>

==Samaritans==
The [[Samaritan]]s have had their own version of the Pentateuch, which contains the only books in the [[Old Testament]] that they recognized as sacred. In some instances the [[Septuagint]] follows the Samaritan Pentateuch rather than the Masoretic/Jewish one.
