Nevi'im

The Nevi'im (/nəviˈm, nəˈvɪm/;[1] Hebrew: נְבִיאִים Nəvīʾīm, Tiberian: Năḇīʾīm 'Prophets', lit.'spokespersons')[2] is the second major division of the Hebrew Bible (the Tanakh), lying between the Torah (lit.'instruction') and Ketuvim (lit.'writings'). The Nevi'im are divided into two groups. The Former Prophets (Hebrew: נביאים ראשונים Nevi'im Rishonim) consists of the narrative books of Joshua, Judges, Samuel and Kings; while the Latter Prophets (Hebrew: נביאים אחרונים Nevi'im Akharonim) include the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the Twelve Minor Prophets.
