The '''Five Books of the Law''' are the first five books of the Old Testament, known jointly as the ''[[Pentateuch]]'' (Gr. ''Penta''), and they describe God's creation of the world, the rebellion of [[Adam and Eve]] and the fall of man. These books are also called the '''Books of Moses'''. These books describe God's creation of the world, the rebellion of [[Adam and Eve]] and the fall of man. They detail the early history of God's people of Israel from the days of Abraham (ca. 2000 BC) right through to the era of [[Moses]] (ca. 1250 BC).
