They believe that they preserve this divinely composed text uncorrupted to the present day. Samaritans commonly refer to their Pentateuch as (""The Truth"").

"Hexateuch The Hexateuch (""six scrolls"") is the first six books of the Hebrew Bible: the Torah (""Pentateuch"") and the book of Joshua. The term ""Hexateuch"" came into scholarly use from the 1870s onwards mainly as the result of work carried out by Abraham Kuenen and Julius Wellhausen. Following the work of Eichhorn, de Wette, Graf, Kuenen, Nöldeke, Colenso and others, in his ""Prolegomena zur Geschichte Israels"" Wellhausen proposed that Joshua represented part of the northern Yahwist source (""c"" 950 BC), detached from JE document by the Deuteronomist (""c"" 650–621) and incorporated into the Deuteronomic history, with the books of Judges,"

"Samaritan Pentateuch The Samaritan Pentateuch, also known as the Samaritan Torah ( ""torah shomronit""), is a text of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, written in the Samaritan alphabet and used as scripture by the Samaritans. It constitutes their entire biblical canon. Some six thousand differences exist between the Samaritan and the Masoretic Text. Most are minor variations in the spelling of words or grammatical constructions, but others involve significant semantic changes, such as the uniquely Samaritan commandment to construct an altar on Mount Gerizim. Nearly two thousand of these textual variations agree with the Koine Greek Septuagint"

It deals mainly with the succession of personages from Adam to Moses, some 26 generations. The whole book is written around the story of their lives, as handed down by oral traditions. The book, preserved by the Samaritan community of Nablus, compiled on parchment in late Samaritan Aramaic mixed with an antiquated Arabic vernacular, and divided into twelve chapters, was discovered by Gaster in 1907. Its antiquity is attested to by the fact that it"

The Torah/Pentateuch comes first in both. The Tanakh places the prophets next, then the historical material.
