Lloyd,

Your translation 'As a beginning' would probably be rendered with the
preposition K-, rather than B-.

"Torah" is the word for the entire Teaching, all of everything 
written down, and oral.

Shoshanna




Really.  I should think that "Torah" is the Jewish word for the Pentateuch.

Lloyd;
 
You wrote, "What is the Humash?"
 
This is the Hebrew word for what you refer to as the Pentateuch.
