The Pentateuch, also called the Torah (or its written part), 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. Christians and Jews attribute the Pentateuch to Moses as inspired or dictated by God.[1]
Samaritans
The Samaritans 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.
