Tanach
Often incorrectly referred to as the Hebrew Bible, the Tanach is Torah (Chumash or the Five Books of Moses), the Nevi’im (Prophets) and the Ketuvim (Psalms, Lamentations and Proverbs) used by those of Jewish faith.
On first reference, define the term Tanach as the Jewish holy scriptures. After that, use the term Tanach. Do not use the terms Old Testament or Hebrew bible when , referring to the Tanach, Judaism, or the Jewish faith.
The correct spelling is T-a-n-a-c-h, not T-a-n-a-c-k.
Also see Torah.
