While using SELECT TOP 5 * FROM SOMETABLE gives me an error

ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected

I am using Oracle 11g . I am aware of using rownum for doing the same thing but just wondering SQL TOP usage is not at all supported in Oracle ? Anything need to do extra to make SQL TOP working in Oracle ??

    Oracle does not support TOP. Use ROWNUM

    SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE ROWNUM <= 5
