Best Answer

The first of the two main divisions of The Bible, containing the books of the old or Mosaic covenant, and including the historical books, the prophets, and the books of wisdom.

The Bible, of course is the last and absolute word of God.

Answer:

It's a translation of the Tanakh: the Hebrew Bible. And as with all translations, something is always lost.
