The Torah is divided into 3 parts
The Torah is part of a larger text called the Tanakh

Answer 1

Based on the information generally known about the Torah and its context within the Jewish texts, the following statements are true:

1. **Parts of the Torah focus on laws** - True. The Torah contains many laws and commandments.

2. **The Torah is part of a larger text called the Tanakh** - True. The Tanakh is the Hebrew Bible, which includes the Torah (the Law), Nevi'im (the Prophets), and Ketuvim (the Writings).

The other statements:

- **Psalms and Proverbs are part of the laws and teaching** - False. Psalms and Proverbs are part of the Writings (Ketuvim), not the laws and teachings found in the Torah.

- **The Torah is divided into 3 parts** - False. The Torah itself is typically divided into five books (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy). The Tanakh, however, is divided into three parts.

Thus, the true statements are:

- Parts of the Torah focus on laws.
- The Torah is part of a larger text called the Tanakh.
