The Tanakh

The Tanakh is the canonical collection of Jewish texts, often referred to as the Hebrew Bible. It is divided into three main parts: the Torah (Law), Nevi'im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings). The Torah contains the foundational laws and teachings, the Nevi'im includes the histories and messages of prophets, and the Ketuvim features diverse works such as poetry, philosophy, and stories. The Tanakh serves as a central religious document in Judaism and has influenced Christianity and Western culture, showcasing themes of ethics, law, and the relationship between God and humanity.
