- The Torah includes the first five books of the Hebrew Bible. It lays
the foundation for Judaism, showing important narratives,
including the 613 commandments. It is considered Judaism's most
important text, expressing God's revelation to Moses on Mount
Sinai. The Tanakh is a more comprehensive collection of Jewish
texts. It is Judaism's primary text, including an even broader
range of religious views than the Torah. It also consists of the
Nevi'im, Ketuvim, and Torah. The Talmud is the most important
book of Rabbinic Judaism. It provides thorough discussions on
Jewish law, customs, and ethics, as well as an in-depth religious
practice, in addition to the Torah. It also has two parts: the
Mishnah outlines Jewish oral law, whereas the Gemara is like the
Mishnah's analysis.
