Description from the seller

Torah scroll (Sefer Torah), a handwritten copy of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible. It is written in Hebrew script on parchment by a qualified scribe (sofer).
Torah scrolls are central to Judaism and are used for public readings during religious services.
The text is written with ink and quill.
The scroll in the image appears to be wrapped in a Sephardic style, using a case or decorative bands rather than a cloth mantle.
Based on the text, the specific passage shown includes parts of Genesis chapters 21 and 22, detailing events like the story of Hagar and Ishmael, the covenant at Beersheba between Abraham and Abimelech, and the binding of Isaac (Akedah).
