What is the TANAKH?

Some have observed that many Hebrew Bibles bear the label TANAK (or often TANAKH) and have asked what this means. This name is actually derived from the three major divisions of the Hebrew Scriptures: (1) TORAH is the name given to the division of the Law of God—the first five books of the Bible. (2) NEBEE-EEM is the name for the Prophets division. (3) KETHUVEEN is the Writings division. The initial letters of the three titles (T, N and K) form the word TANAK.
