The article assumes a formal difference of understanding of the Torah in Judaism and the biblical theology of the Old Testament. The Jewish understanding of the Torah as a self-contained complex of meaning could be identified by the fact that law and legal regulations formed the actual core of the cult and communal life. The leading idea therefore is the Torah as a corpus of law and as the spiritual-religious center of Judaism in history. Events and narrations would be secondary. In the center of the Torah there would be not the personal luck of the individual, but the means of existence of the people of Israel.
