Hebrew Bible

The Hebrew Bible, also known as the Tanakh, is the canonical collection of Jewish texts, revered as sacred scripture. It consists of three main parts: the Torah (the first five books, which outline laws and teachings), the Prophets (historical narratives and prophetic messages), and the Writings (a diverse collection of poetry, philosophy, and stories). The Hebrew Bible is foundational not only for Judaism but also has significantly influenced Christianity and Western culture. Its themes explore morality, identity, faith, and the relationship between God and humanity.
