The historical and jurisprudential chapters of the Tanakh
Question
Hello
Which part of the Tanakh is for stories of prophets and which part is for jurisprudential rulings?
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
The Torah, the first 5 books of the Hebrew bible focuses most on laws, ritual, and jurisprudential.
The other 19 books of the bible focus on Jewish history and the stories you refer to.
