The Tanakh is the whole of the Hebrew Bible. It is an acronym for Torah (5 Books of Moses), Nevi’im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writing). The Torah is likened to a Tree of Life for all and in all its ways there is pleasantness. The words of the Hebrew Bible are like the ark that protected Noah carrying a way of life for us all to live by through the Seven Laws of Noah given to Moses at Mount Sinai. There are seven verses to learn that help to remind us all of this.
