The Pentateuch and the Psalms: five books as five Spiritual senses - In most Bibles, the Psalms are usually divided into five “books”; there are five books of Moses; there are also many parallels between the Penteteuch and the five books of the Psalms - some patent to any attentive reader, others more mystical and a sort of buried treasure.
