Which takes precedence the Tanakh or the Talmud?
Answer 1There is no question of precedence. The Tanakh is the presumed fundamental authority that underpins everything that goes on in Talmud. When a question is resolved in the Talmud, the solution is always based on a quotation or analysis from Tanakh.Answer 2It is a little more complex than that. The Tanakh has three components: the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings. The Torah is considered binding authority which the Talmud may only interpret. In this way, the Torah takes precedence (without question) over the Talmud. The Prophets is considered a book of examples and exemplars. The actions of a prophet or person in concert with Divine Will in fulfillment of a Torah level requirement may provide persuasive authority to the discussions of the Talmud. For example, the term "work" as pertains to prohibitions on Shabbat is not elaborated on in the Torah text, but Solomon's labors to build the Temple (in the Book of Kings) provide an explanation of what work is and the Talmud elaborates based on these exact prohibitions. However, when Jepthah sacrifices his daughter in violation of the Torah Law, the Talmud roundly chastises his action. The Writings have no authority, neither persuasive nor binding.
