   The term "Torah,” and even "Sefer Torah,” appears many times in Tanakh, but in most cases, the plain meaning of the text is not referring to the Five Books of the Torah. The word "Torah" actually has multiple meanings in Tanakh, and only in some instances does the word refer to a written text.

2. Composition of the Torah according to Tanakh and Jewish Tradition

   Part 2

   Rabbi Amnon Bazak

   From the description that appears in the Torah itself and in the Books of the Prophets, there is no way of knowing how, when, and by whom the Five Books of the Torah were committed to writing and transmitted to the Jewish People. However, in the later books the picture changes somewhat, and we find explicit mention of the existence of a "Book of the Torah" that is more extensive than just the book of Devarim. This Torah is clearly identified with "God's Torah" in Nehemia, when the Jewish people commits, at the ceremony of the covenant, "to follow God's Torah, which was given by the hand of Moshe, God's servant."
