The Hebrew Bible is divided into three portions:
1. Torah, also referred to as the "Chumash" or Five after the first five books:
Bereshit - Genesis

These five books were written by Moses. In English they are called the Pentateuch.
2. Neviim -The Prophets (Prophets and History).
Joshua (Yehoshua)
Judges (Shoftim),
Samuel (Shmuel),
Kings (Melacim),
Isaiah Yishayahu),
Jeremiah Yermiah),
Ezekiel (Yechezkiel),
Twelve (Minor i.e., smaller) Prophets in Hebrew "Trei Eser" (meaning "Twelve") sometimes considered one book: In the Synagogue all 12 were often written on one scroll.
