The Tanakh (Jewish Bible) contains Torah, Neviim (Prophets) and Ketuvim (Writings).

These books contain laws; general world history, general Jewish history, plus history of specific events; prayers; warnings, predictions and promises; allegories, parables and sayings, and more.

Some parts are in prophetic poetry and song; others are in prose. Most is in Hebrew, and a few chapters are in Aramaic.
