The word Tanakh is a Hebrew acronym for Torah, Nevi'im, and Ketuvim. This video explains what the Tanakh is, when the tern Tanakh came about, and how the Tanakh is different from the Old Testament.

I found the first reference to the Tanakh from a comment by Jordan Penkower on a forum here: https://networks.h-net.org/node/28655...
