Deuteronomy (Hebrew דברים devarìm, "words", from the incipit; Greek Δευτερονόμιο, deuteronòmio, "second law", for the compendium, the repetition of laws already present in Exodus and in general of what is written on the Pentateuch, in the first Books of the written Torah; Latin Deuteronomium) is the fifth book of the Hebrew Torah and of the Christian Bible.

It is written in Hebrew and, according to the hypothesis most shared by scholars, its final editing, by unknown authors, is placed in the sixth-fifth century BC in Judea, on the basis of previous oral and written traditions, in particular of the so-called Deuteronomist source of the seventh century BC.

It consists of 34 chapters describing the history of the Jews during their sojourn in the Sinai Desert (about 1200 BC) and contains various religious and social laws.

Exodus (Hebrew שמות shemòt, "names," from the incipit; Greek Έξοδος èxodos, "exit," Latin Exodus) is the second book of the Hebrew Torah and the Christian Bible.

It is written in Hebrew and, according to the hypothesis most shared by scholars, its final editing, by unknown authors, is placed in the VI-V century B.C. in Judea, on the basis of previous oral and written traditions (see Documentary Hypothesis), constituting the first nucleus around which the writing of the Bible would have been composed.

It is composed of 40 chapters. In the first 14 it describes the Jews' stay in Egypt, their enslavement and miraculous liberation through Moses, while in the remaining chapters it describes the Jews' stay in the Sinai desert. The period described is traditionally referred to 1250-1200 BC (then in the thirteenth century before Christ, and precisely at the time of Pharaoh Merneptah), while according to other scholars the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt would be referred to 1500 BC (under the pharaoh Amenophis II).

"1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 1:2 And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."

(The first two verses of the book of Genesis, as well as the opening words of the entire Bible and Torah).

The book of Genesis (Hebrew: בראשית? bereshìt, lit. "in the beginning," from the incipit; Greek: Γένεσις, transliterated: ghènesis, lit. "birth," "creation," "origin"; Latin: Genesis), commonly referred to as Genesis (feminine), is the first book of the Torah of the Jewish Tanakh and the Christian Bible.

Written in Hebrew and divided into fifty chapters, according to the hypothesis most shared by scholars, its final draft, by unknown authors, is placed in the sixth-fifth century BC in Judea, on the basis of previous oral and written traditions.

In the first eleven chapters is described the so-called "biblical prehistory" (creation, original sin, universal flood), and in the remaining chapters the story of the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, Jacob-Israel and Joseph, whose lives are placed in the near east of the second millennium BC (the dating of the patriarchs, traditional but hypothetical, is around 1800-1700 BC, see History of the Jews).
