But in Hebrew, "The Torah" doesn't mean a certain book anyway. There are "The five one-part-of-five's of Torah". The Torah is like the teachings, or the postulates, or the theory. So there's Jehova's Torah, or Torat Hashem; but there's also your mother's torah: "Remember, my son, your father's Mussar (= mores), and do not abandon your mother's Torah (= teachings)".



Sure, though the Latin and Greek words that Bible comes from don't mean any particular book either.
