Jews see the Pentateuch as the most important part of their holy writings since they were written by Moses himself, at God's dictation.

What are the four major divisions of the Old Testaments?
I can think of two semi-obvious ways to make four divisions: The Historical books, the Poetical books, the Major prophets, and the Minor prophets OR The Pentateuch, the other Historical books, the Poetical books, and the Prophets. As may be obvious from those lists, it's rather more usual to make three divisions (history/poetry/prophecy) ... to make four, you've got to split one of the three.
