What is the origin of word Pentateuch?

The word "Pentateuch" comes from the Greek words "pente" (meaning "five") and "teuchos" (meaning "scroll" or "volume").

Therefore, Pentateuch literally means "five scrolls" or "five volumes." This refers to the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, which are:

1. Genesis

2. Exodus

3. Leviticus

4. Numbers

5. Deuteronomy

These five books are also known as the Torah, which means "teaching" or "instruction" in Hebrew. The Pentateuch is considered the foundation of Jewish law and tradition, and it is also a central text in Christianity.
