Torah - Pentateuch, 5 books of Moses, (Genesis)
a
Nevi'im - Prophets, (Isaiah)
a
Kethubim- Writings (Psalms)
There are only three sections to the Tanakh, that is why in Hebrew it is TNK, there are only vowel sounds when you say it. The consonants each stand for one of the sections.
Some sects of Christianity divide it up into 4 sections though. The Pentateuch (Genesis), the Former Prophets (Judges - Kings), the Latter Prophets (Isaiah - The 12), and the Wisdom Books (Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes)
Hope this helps...

Since you've asked this twice and don't believe the person giving you the correct answer, you can look it up for yourself here:

There are only three divisions in the Tanakh. If you're talking about something else, you'd better add some details.
Peace to you.

Tanakh is an acronym for the three "categories" mentioned by the previous answer.
then there's the answer from someone like maya who obviously hasn't read it.

As others have mentioned, the Tanach, aka the "Jewish Bible", is an acronym that denotes three sections.
Torah -
Nevi'im (Prophets) -
Kesuvim (Writings) -

I'll say again..there are three.
the Torah (the five books of moses, including genesis)
the nevi'im, prophets, including the book of judges
the ketuvim, or writings, including the scroll of ruth

1) creation myths; 2) celebrations of genocide. Those are the only categories.
