Torah

...It is also sometimes used in the sense of the law = Old Testament, in contrast to the gospel = New Testament. In the narrower sense, it is used as another name for the law in the Old Testament, that is, the first five books of the Old Testament (the Pentateuch), especially in Judaism, and is also called Torah. In that case, it is used as one of the three divisions: the law (Torah), the prophets (Nevi'im), and the writings (Kesu'vi'im).
