Detailed explanation-1: -Torah (Law) – five books. Jews regard this as the holiest part of the Tenakh (the Jewish Bible). Nevi’im (Prophets) – eight books. These books describe the history of Judaism after the death of Moses. Ketuvim (Writings) – 11 books.
Detailed explanation-2: -Torah () in Hebrew can mean teaching, direction, guidance and law. The most prominent meaning for Jews is that the Torah constitutes the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (also called the Pentateuch, ‘five books’ in Greek), traditionally thought to have been composed by Moses.
Detailed explanation-3: -The five books making up the Torah are Be-reshit, Shemot, Va-yikra, Be-midbar and Devarim, which in the English Bible correspond to Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.
