Except Bible 2.0 superceded 1.0 except when it’s handy for harassing people they don’t like. And it just popped into my head. ---

> [@wguy123](#): > > Yes, I should’ve said Tanakh, and meant to, but Torah is a synonym. Last correction from me. Someone else will have to step in. Tanakh is not a synonym for Torah. In fact, the “T” of Tanakh stands for Torah. Tanakh is an acronym derived from the names of the three divisions of the Hebrew Bible: Torah (Instruction, or Law, also called the Pentateuch), Neviʾim (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings). The 24 books of Tanakh are _mostly_ congruent with the Christian Bible, though not wholly. I’m out. ---
