               The Hebrew Bible is divided into three parts: (1)
               The Torah, ``Law,'' or Pentateuch. (2) The Prophets
               (Nevi'im in Hebrew) . . . (3) The Kethubim, or the
               ``Writings,'' generally termed Hagiographa. From
               the first letters of these three parts, the word
               ``Tanakh'' is derived, and used by Jews as the name
               of their Bible, the Christian Old Testament. --C.
