What's the Etymology of the Word Torah?
The word Torah comes from a verb yara, which means to teach or instruct. It can refer to the body of teaching or instruction that God has given. But in the history of Israel, that body of teaching instruction began at Mount Sinai. The laws actually don't appear until you're 69 chapters into the Torah.
