The Samaritan Pentateuch is a version of the first five books of the Bible, known as the Torah. It is used by the Samaritans, a religious group that claims descent from the ancient Israelites. This text differs in some ways from the more widely known Masoretic Text, which is the basis for most modern translations of the Hebrew Bible. The Samaritan Pentateuch is written in an ancient form of the Hebrew script and contains unique readings and interpretations. It emphasizes the importance of Mount Gerizim as the true place of worship, contrasting with the Jewish focus on Jerusalem. This version reflects the distinct beliefs and practices of the Samaritan community.
