塔纳赫
The Tanakh is the Hebrew Bible, constituting the entire canon of divinely revealed scripture in Judaism. The Tanakh is divided into three parts: Torah (“Teaching”) - five books ascribed to Moses, covering the founding legal codes of Jewish law and a religious account of Jewish history from creation until the Hebrews’ arrival in the Land of Israel; Nevi’im (“Prophets”) - eight books covering prophetic exhortations and Jewish history from the Hebrews’ arrival in Israel until the Babylonian Captivity; and Ketuvim (“Writings”) - eleven books of diverse content. Jewish tradition holds that a group of prophets, sages, and scribes known as the Great Assembly compiled and codified the Tanakh in 450 BCE, though most scholars believe its codification occurred between the 2nd century BCE and the 2nd century CE.
塔纳赫是希伯来文圣经，组成了犹太教中神启的经书的全部教义。塔纳赫被分为三个部分：律法书（“教谕”），摩西五经，包括了犹太法的奠基性的法规，以及对自创世纪到希伯来人到达以色列地方的犹太历史的宗教叙述；先知书（“先知”），包括先知劝诫、从希伯来人来到以色列地方到巴比伦之囚时期的犹太历史；诗歌智慧书（“写作”），包括各种不同内容的十一本书。犹太教传统认为，在公元前450年，由先知、智者和犹太法学家构成的大祭司大会汇集编撰了塔纳赫，尽管多数学者认为，其编撰时期应在公元前2世纪和公元2世纪之间。
