That question could have a number of different answers, I suppose, depending on which religious group is being referenced.
Perhaps the most likely way to fill in the blanks would be:
<h2>The <u>
Torah</u> contains the basic laws of the religion of the
<u>Jewish</u> people, called <u>
Judaism.</u></h2>
Further details/explanation:
The ancient Hebrew Bible began with the "Torah," that is, "The Law," which was given through the leader of Israel, Moses. Most of us are familiar with the Ten Commandments as given to Israel through Moses. (Maybe you've even seen the classic 1956 movie, <em>The Ten Commandments</em>, starring Charlton Heston.) Those famous "Ten Commandments" are essentially a concise summary of God's moral law for his people. The religion of Judaism was built on moral commands and human beings' ethical obligation to obey them. In fact, beyond those major summaries of God's law in the Ten Commandments, the Jewish rabbis counted a total of 613 commands given in the Torah (the books of Moses). The basic ethical foundation of Judaism is still respected as a key reason why the religion of Judaism has been influential beyond the Jewish people themselves.
