Tanakh

The Tanakh is the Bible according to the Jewish Canon of Sacred Scripture.

Tanakh is an acronym for Torah (the teachings), Nevi’im (the prophets), and Ketuvim (the writings), Ta-Na-Kh. These were the three categories of the library of Jewish books that the rabbis discerned were inspired by God for teaching his people Israel.

The Tanakh consists of the Masoretic manuscripts.
