Answer: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy

Explanation: The Torah represents the first five Old Testament books that are believed to have been written by Moses, in accordance with God's instructions.

The first book of Genesis, is about the creation of heaven, earth and all creatures on earth as well as man and woman. In addition, there are the stories of Adam and Eve in paradise, the exile of paradise, Noah and the floods, Abraham and God’s promise of God’s people and the promised land, Jacob and the twelve sons, of whom twelve tribes of Israel will become.

The second book of Exodus is about Moses and his mission that he received from God to bring the Jewish people out of Egyptian slavery.

The third book of Leviticus, is about the laws God sent to the Jews through Moses, which contain religious laws, how to prepare Jews for God's service, how to offer sacrifices, etc, but also regulate all social relations within the community, and are based on ethical and moral principles.

The fourth book of Numbers refers to God's counting of the Israelites divided into twelve tribes, and the recording of all those capable of fighting adversity and enemies while wandering through the desert, before entering the Promised Land.

In the fifth book called Deuteronomy, Moses wants the laws he gave to the Jews before his death to be established among them, for the Jews to obey those laws, and to abhor disobedience. In other words, he wanted to encourage them to persevere in the fulfillment of God's laws.
