About this tradition
During the last centuries BCE and first century CE, Jewish scholars gradually completed a long process of compiling and editing their sacred literature to form the present three-part Hebrew Bible. Among Jews, the Hebrew Bible is typically called the Tanakh, an acronym derived from the initial consonants of the three sections into which the Scriptures are divided: Torah, Nevi’im, and Kethuvim.
