Christian Answer

The Hebrew Bible is really a series of 34 books collected together. The Torah, the prophets, and the Writings that were added later make up the Hebrew bible. Some of these books describe events in Jewish history. Others are books of poetry, literature, and proverbs.

For example Genesis, the first book of the Torah, tells how God punished the world for its bad behavior. In Genesis, God tells Noah to build an ark, or large boat. Noah, his family, and two of every animal on Earth boarded the ark. Then a great flood covered the land, and only those on the ark escaped drowning. After the flood, God created a rainbow as a symbol of his promise to never again destroy the world with a flood.

Genesis also explains why the world has languages. It tells how the people of Babel tried to build a tower to heaven. God disapproved and made the people speak different languages, then scattered them across the earth.
