The word 'Tanakh' is a Hebrew TLA ... a Three-Letter Acronym, formed of the initial

letters of the words "Torah, Nevi'im, K'tuvim". Those are the Hebrew designations

for the major divisions of The Bible: Torah, Prophets, and Writings.

Thus "Tanakh" is the referential title of the entire Hebrew Bible from Genesis to Chronicles.

You may recognize many of its components because of their correspondence to, and your

thorough familiarity with, books of the "Old Testament", which is after all nothing but a

translation of the Tanakh.
