Judaism Note: The Hebrew Bible or Tanakh is roughly
equivalent to the Christian Old Testament, and has three parts, Torah,
Nevi'im & Ketuvim. The Torah, in the narrow sense (the Written Torah)
is the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible. The Nevi'im are
the Prophets - Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and the Twelve Minor
Prophets. The Ketuvim is the Writings, including Psalms and Proverbs,
Esther and Ecclesiastes, Daniel, Chronicles, Ruth, and the love poetry of
Song of Songs. If you take the T (from Torah), the N (from Nevi'im) and the
K (from Ketuvim), and put them together in one word, you have TNK. Add some
vowels and it becomes the Tanakh.Text versions of the Torah, Nevi'im &
Ketuvim are available in English with some useful further information at: Two other English translations, including a useful scholarly version (Kaplan) with hyperlinked translator's notes. Hebrew and Aramaic versions should be available from this site also, www.breslov.com/bible/ The Hebrew Bible (Tanakh)
