Mr. Mythkiller,
For your information, the Jewish nation came much before your Muslims: You can try deny it all you want because your have so much hate for the Jews, but the truth is there for all to see.
And now to the question:
The three Jewish texts are:
Torah
Neviim
Ketuvim
also known by their acronym TANAKH.
