JPS 1917, ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE ENTIRE TANAKH

The Bible of Jews, which is also known as the Hebrew Bible or Tanakh, is divided into three main sections, the Torah or books of the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings.

The Torah and the first section of the Prophets are called historical because they tell the story of the Jewish people.

The name Tanakh refers to the Jewish Bible. It is an acronym, T-N-K, with vowels added to aid pronunciation, based on the Hebrew names of the divisions of the Bible: Torah, Nevi’im (Prophets) and Ketuvim (Writings)
