Hebrew Bible or Tanakh

5B, Ca. 1950 

Notes

The Hebrew Bible, also known as the Tanakh, is a sacred collection of texts central to the Jewish faith. It is composed of three main sections: the Torah (Law or Teaching), the Nevi'im (Prophets), and the Ketuvim (Writings). The Torah includes the first five books, which are traditionally attributed to Moses and contain laws, narratives, and teachings. The Nevi'im consists of historical accounts and prophetic messages, while the Ketuvim encompasses a diverse array of writings, including poetry, wisdom literature, and historical records. The Hebrew Bible is written primarily in Hebrew, with some portions in Aramaic, and serves as a foundational text for Judaism and an important scriptural source for Christiantiy.
