About this document
Meanings of "Torah" in the Pentateuch by Jurgen Esto is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document analyzes the 32 appearances of the word "Torah" in the Pentateuch. It finds the word is used in four categories: as a general law, to refer to specific rules, to refer to the contents of the Torah, and to refer to the physical scroll. Most references are in Deuteronomy and refer to the Torah as a written document, showing self-awareness of the Torah as a book. The document closely examines each usage and concludes the Torah identifies itself as both a body of law and a physical scroll or book.
