The Bible provides the background for Jewish history, describing the lineage, geography, religion, and political culture of the Jewish people. In essence, it describes the unique relationship of the Jewish people with God, the development of law that is later articulated in the Talmud, and the rise of prophets and kings who defined the tradition. The five books of the Bible (also called the Pentateuch, Torah, or Tanach) accounts for the destruction of the first and second temples, the exile in Babylon, and the return of the people to the land. The historical narrative ends there. Some have described the Bible as the Constitution of the Jewish people, though the analogy to the American Constitution is imperfect.
