What do you call the first 4 books of Old Testament?

Answer 1

One way of classifying the books of the Tanakh (Jewish Bible) is:

1) The Torah itself (which stands above the other books)

2) Books that chronicle historical events (such as Samuel and Judges)

3) Books of prophecy or mostly prophecy (such as Isaiah); and

4) Books of parables, songs and contemplation (Proverbs, Song of Songs, Job).

Answer 2

You could say History, Poetry, praise kings.

Answer:Historical, poetic, and prophetic. If there is a fourth category, it's probably a sub category of one of these three.

Answer 3

There is no name for the first four books of the Old Testament, the first five are jointly considered "the Law", "the Pentateuch", or "the Torah".
