Refimprove date November 2007 Judaism The Hebrew term Chumash also umash lang he , IPA he u ma pron or IPA he u ma pron or Yiddish language Yiddish IPA yi m pron is a term for Torah in printed form as opposed to the Sefer Torah torah scroll . The word comes from the Hebrew word for five, amesh . A more formal term is amishah umshei Torah , five fifths of Torah . It is a hebrew name for the Five Books of Moses , also known by the Latinised Greek term Pentateuch in common printed editions. Origin of the term Image The Chumash.jpg thumb left The Artscroll Chumash The word umash may be a misreading of omesh , meaning one fifth , alluding to any one of the five books as the Hebrew has no vowel signs, it could be read either way. It could also be regarded as a Back formation back formed singular of umashim umshei which is in fact the plural of omesh . In early scribal practice there was a distinction between a Sefer Torah , containing the entire Pentateuch on a parchment scroll, and a copy of one of the five books on its own, which was generally bound in codex form, like a modern book, and had a lesser degree of sanctity. The term omesh strictly applies to one of these. Thus, omesh B reshit strictly means the Genesis fifth , but was misread as umash, B reshit and interpreted as meaning The Pentateuch Genesis , as if umash was the name of the book and Bereshit the name of one of its parts.
