Jewish scripture

The authorship of Jewish scripture, also known as the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible, is traditionally attributed to various prophets, kings, and leaders from ancient Israelite history. However, modern scholarship often views the texts as a compilation of works by multiple authors and editors over centuries, with origins that are complex and not attributed to a single author. Key components include the Torah (traditionally ascribed to Moses), the Prophets, and the Writings, with contributions from various sources such as priestly writers, scribes, and wisdom teachers.
