What are the three sections of the Hebrew Bible and which one do the Jews consider to be the most sacred?
The Jewish holy book is the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), containing the Torah and the prophetic books.
Tanakh is a Hebrew acronym of T, N, K which stands for the three parts of the Tanakh: Torah, Nevi'im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings).
The Torah, also called the Pentateuch, is the holiest. It is comprised of the five Books of Moses (also called the Books of the Law). The Torah was given by God to Moses (Exodus 24:12), who transmitted it to the people and wrote it (Deuteronomy 31:24). Its chief purpose is to teach the laws of Judaism; and it also teaches us historical highlights, attitudes, guidance, beliefs and more.
