Tanak
\Tanak\, Tanakh
\Tanakh\, n. [From the initial (Hebrew)
letters of Torah, Nevi'im, and Kethubim.]
a term used among Jews for the Hebrew Bible; the Old
Testament. [Also spelled
Tanach.]
Note: Although Christians use the term
“Old Testament”,
this term implies the superseding force of the
“New
Testament”, not recognized as revelation by the Jewish
faith.
[PJC]
The Hebrew Bible is divided into three parts: (1)
The
Torah,
“Law,” or Pentateuch. (2) The
Prophets . . . (3) The Kethubim, or the
“Writings,” generally termed
Hagiographa.
