Lore & Background
The term 'Tanakh' is an acronym derived from the first Hebrew letter of each of the Masoretic Text's three traditional divisions: Torah, Nevi'im, and Ketuvim. The three-part division is well attested in Rabbinic literature dating from the Masoretic period, though the term 'Tanakh' was not used then; the proper title was Mikra or Miqra. The acronym Tanakh is first recorded in the Masorah Magna and later entered broader Jewish use via the responsa of Rabbi Shlomo ben Avraham ibn Aderet.
