Question

List 4 reasons why the Hebrew Bible is important to history and religion.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Hebrew Bible is important because it tells the history of the ancient Israelites, as well as giving us the teachings of such prophets as Moses, Isaiah  and Jeremiah, the stories of kings like David and Saul, and the development of the ethics and beliefs of the Jewish religion. The Hebrew Bible (later called the "Old Testament") is also where many important laws such as the Ten Commandments are found. And the Hebrew Bible was the scripture that Jesus (Yeshua) read and believed in; Christianity, which broke away from Judaism and started a new faith, was greatly influenced by the Hebrew Bible. Thus, both Jews and Christians find great meaning in this book. Jews still believe in the Hebrew Bible, while Christians see it as the book that led to the New Testament and Christianity.
