Hebrew Bible
The Tanakh (in Hebrew ") is the acronym designating the Hebrew Bible, Hebrew, consists of three parts:
- The Torah (Law or Pentateuch );
- The Nevi'im (the Prophets);
- The Ketuvim (the Writings or Other Hagiographs).
We also write Tanak (no h at the end). The Tanakh is also called Mikra Terminology Division that reflects the acronym T n a kh is well attested in documents from the era of Second Temple and in the rabbinic literature except that during this period, the acronym in question was not used, the correct term was as opposed to ("Education", "Repeat") and ("Exegesis"). The Mikra term still used to this day alongside Tanakh to denote the Hebrew Scriptures. In Hebrew modern spoken Mikra does have a more formal connotation than Tanakh. The books included in the Tanakh is mostly written in Hebrew, it is also called the Hebrew Bible. Although Aramaic is being introduced largely in the books of Daniel and Ezra , and in a sentence of the Book of Jeremiah and a place name from two words in Sefer Bereshit (Book of Genesis), these passages are written in the same Hebrew script. According to Jewish tradition, the Tanakh consists of twenty-four books (listed below), the Torah contains five books, Nevi'im eight, and Ketuvim eleven. These twenty-four books are the same books as those of the Old Testament Protestant , but the order of books is different, so that the listing, the Protestants with thirty-nine pounds, not twenty-four. This is because Jews often count as one book where Christians are several. However, the term Old Testament, although common, is often seen as pejorative by the Jews, as it tends to be interpreted as inferior or outdated compared to the The term "First Testament" is considered more respectful vis--vis the Jewish tradition. As such, a technical distinction can be drawn between the Tanakh and the body of similar but not identical, as Protestant Christians called Old Testament. The term Hebrew Bible is therefore preferred by some scholars, because it covers the common aspects of the Tanakh and the Old Testament sectarisants avoiding bias. The Old Testament Catholic and Orthodox contains seven books not included in the Tanakh. They are called Deuterocanonical Books (lit. "canonized secondarily" that is to say, later canonized). In Christian Bibles, the books of Daniel and Esther may contain text deuterocanonical, having been included in either the Jewish canon, nor in the Protestant canon. The Hebrew text originally consisted only consonants , with letters used inconsistently as vowels ( lectionis masters ). During the High Middle Ages, Masoretes codified the oral tradition of reading the Tanakh by adding two special kinds of symbols to text: the signs of niqoud (punctuation function of vowels) and cantillation , the latter indicating the syntax, the tonic accent and melody for reading. Book of the Torah have used names based on the first word of every meaningful book. The names in French are not the translation: they are based on the Greek names created for the LXX , which were themselves based on the names rabbinical describing the thematic content of Books. The Torah ( "Act") Dates Editorial There are many uncertainties on the timing of writing books of the Tanakh. However, by crossing the archeology, history and critical study of texts, it becomes possible to estimate roughly speaking, when was the writing of each book. The following table attempts to present a summary of the periods of writing are most likely. The sources used to establish the following: While Christians read the Bible through books, Jews read it (at least for ritual use) in a roll. The division into chapters and verses therefore has no meaning in Jewish tradition, which divides the Torah parashiot (pericopes, sections), themselves divided into seven thematic sections, and other books as narrative episodes. She added, however in most modern editions of the Tanakh, to facilitate locating and citing them. The division of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles in I and II is also shown on each page of these books, to avoid confusion in the poll of these books, this one following the Christian textual tradition. The adoption of capitation by Christian Jews began in Spain , around the thirteenth century, in part because of the disputations, forced ecumenical discussion in the context of the Spanish Inquisition emerging. Discussions requested indeed a common biblical quotation system. From the perspective of the Jewish textual tradition, the division into chapters is not only a foreign innovation without foundation in Messori , but it is also highly questionable because: However, as their usefulness - or even their indispensability - was proven for the quotes, they continued to be included by the Jews in most editions of the Hebrew Scriptures, and even non-biblical scriptures frequently having to appeal as Talmud. For more information on the origin of the divisions, see biblical capitation. The numbers of chapters and verses were often shown prominently in the former editions, as in the Bible of the Rabbinate , to the point of covering the traditional Masoretic divisions. However, in many editions of the Jewish Tanakh published over the last forty years, there has been a noticeable tendency to minimize the impact on printed pages. These modern editions are the Books of Samuel, Kings, Chronicles and Ezra as one book in their table of contents, and make no mention in the text of their division into two parts (although it is noted in upper and lateral margins). The text of II Samuel, for example, follows that of I Samuel on the same page, no particular spacing between them in the text flow, and may even continue on the same line of text. The Rabbinic Judaism teaches that the Torah was transmitted in parallel with an oral tradition that complements it. This belief is not shared by the Karaite Jews , the Beta Israel , the Samaritans , and the majority of Christians , with the exception of some messianic groups. According to proponents of the oral law, many terms and definitions used in the statute are not defined in the Torah itself, which involves the reader a familiarity with the context and detail, which could be known only from an ancient oral tradition. Opponents argue that the oral tradition, the large body of rabbinical works, only some actually serves to clarify the context. These rabbinic work, collectively known as the "Oral Law" Notes Names of biblical books
The names in brackets are those under which the books are known worldwide Christian. 
Chapters and verses of the Books Division
Most editions realize this goal by relegating count on the margins of texts. The text of these editions is uninterrupted throughout the chapters (the beginning is only notified in the margin). The absence of capitation in these editions also enhances the visual impact created by the spaces and "paragraphs" of pages, which indicate the traditional Jewish division parashiot.
