Not the same thing as OT
'''Tanakh''' ([[Hebrew]]: '''תנ״ך''') is an acronym referring to the [[Hebrew]] [[Bible]], formed from the names of its three parts:
*[[Torah]] (''Instruction'')
*Nevi'im (''Prophets'')
*K'tuvim (''Sacred Writings'')
It is considered the compendium of the teachings of God to human beings in document form, using direct communication with [[Moses|Moshe]]; communicating through the Prophets and Prophetesses of the [[Judaism|Jewish]] people; and through works inspired by "Ruach HaKodesh," the Holy Spirit, in the Sacred Writings.
The composition of the ''Tanakh'' was determined by the ''Anshei K'nesset HaGedolah'' (Men of the Great Assembly), under the influence of the Holy Spirit. It consists of twenty-four Books, where first and second volumes of one work are counted as one, and where all the twelve Books of the ''Shneim-'Asar,'' (Twelve Prophets) are also considered as one.
