What is the Tanakh?
The Hebrew Scriptures as one whole, an acronym for Torah, Nevi'im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings). What the Christian tradition calls the Old Testament, read in its own order.
Tanakh is simply the Hebrew name for the Hebrew Scriptures, what most people call the Old Testament. The word is an acronym for its three parts: Torah (the instruction, the first five books), Nevi'im (the Prophets), and Ketuvim (the Writings).
It is the same collection Christians read, but arranged in the original Hebrew order, which ends on a hopeful note, the call to go up and rebuild, rather than on a warning. We use Tanakh instead of Old Testament because calling something old suggests it is outdated, and it is not. It is the Scripture Yeshua Himself read, quoted, and lived by. In His day, it was the only Bible there was.
