The Hebrew Bible, also known as the Tanakh, is divided into three main parts:
1. Torah: This is the first part of the Hebrew Bible and consists of the Five Books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The Torah contains the foundational religious and moral laws and teachings of Judaism.
2. Nevi'im: The Nevi'im, meaning "Prophets," is the second part of the Hebrew Bible. It includes the historical accounts and teachings of the major and minor prophets, such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and others. The Nevi'im also contains some historical books like Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings.
3. Ketuvim: The Ketuvim, meaning "Writings," is the final part of the Hebrew Bible. It consists of a collection of poetry, wisdom literature, and other writings. This section includes books such as Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Solomon, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra-Nehemiah, and Chronicles.
