8590. Tanak
Strong's Lexicon
Tanak: Tanakh

Original Word: תַּעֲנָךְ
Part of Speech: Proper Name Location
Transliteration: Ta`anak
Pronunciation: tah-NAHK
Phonetic Spelling: (tah-an-awk')
Definition: Tanakh
Meaning: Taanak, Tanak

Word Origin: An acronym derived from the initial Hebrew letters of each of the three traditional subdivisions of the Hebrew Bible: Torah (Teaching), Nevi'im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of the Hebrew Scriptures is often referred to as the Septuagint (LXX), which is not a direct translation of the term "Tanakh" but serves a similar function in the Greek-speaking Jewish and early Christian communities. Strong's Greek entries related to the Scriptures include G1124 (γραφή, graphē) meaning "writing" or "scripture."

Usage: The term "Tanakh" refers to the canonical collection of Jewish texts, which is also a significant part of the Christian Old Testament. It is an acronym representing the three sections of the Hebrew Scriptures: the Torah, which includes the first five books of Moses; the Nevi'im, which contains the historical and prophetic books; and the Ketuvim, which encompasses the poetic and wisdom literature.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Tanakh is central to Jewish religious life and has been studied, interpreted, and revered for centuries. It was written over a period of approximately a thousand years, from around the 12th century BCE to the 2nd century BCE. The texts were originally composed in Hebrew, with some portions in Aramaic. The Tanakh has played a crucial role in shaping Jewish identity, law, and tradition, and it has also significantly influenced Christian theology and Western culture.
