I cannot change now, though.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bottom-line is that it is indeed the Torah book (one of its volumes) as the topic starter suggested in the beginning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ref. to the translation, interesting for me is that in Russian (also in Bulgarian, b.t.w) the first book is called not &quot;Creation&quot; or &quot;Beginning&quot; or something related to starting/creating something new (like the English version &quot;Genesis&quot; - origin or beginning which comes from Greek) but literary &quot;Being&quot; - Бытие́.&nbsp; Must have some sophisticated religious reason <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Also the name of the last volume 5 in English comes from Greek not translated (<b>Deuteronomy</b> (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koine_Greek" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koine_Greek" rel="nofollow">Greek</a>: Δευτερονόμιον<i>Deuteronómion</i>, lit.&#039;second law&#039;)</p><p>while in Russian it is translated - второзаконие or literary &quot;second law book&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
