The correct answer is: The Jewish holy book, the Torah, is the first five books of the Old Testament.

The Torah, which means "instruction" or "doctrine" in Hebrew, is the text that contains the law and the identity heritage of the Jewish people. It constitutes the basis of Judaism. The Torah is formed by five books:

- "In the Beginning" (Genesis);

- "Names" (Exodus);

- "He called" (Leviticus);

- "In the Desert" (Numbers); and

- "Words" (Deuteronomy).

The Torah narrates the creation of the world and the fall in disgrace of Adam and Eve, the pact between Abraham and God, the Jewish enslavement in Egypt, their liberation by Moses, the delivery of the Ten Commandments, and the posterior wandering in the desert of the Hebrew people. These books are the first five books of the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, which also contains other Jewish texts, like the Psalms.
