The word Tank
- Tank, Tanakh, The word Tank comes from the hebrew word Tanakh [תנ״ך] (also spelt Tanach) is an acronym for the three parts of the Hebrew Bible, based upon the initial Hebrew letters of each part:

Definition of Tanakh: n. a term used among Jews for the Hebrew Bible.
Books of the Tanakh: The Hebrew text originally consisted only of consonants, together with some inconsistently applied letters used as vowels (matres lectionis). During the early middle ages, the Masoretes codified the oral tradition for reading the Tanakh by adding two special kinds of symbols to the text: niqqud (vowel points) and cantillation signs. The latter indicate syntax, stress (accentuation), and the melody for reading. The books of the Torah have generally-used names which are based on the first prominent word in each book. The English names are not translations of the Hebrew; they are based on the Greek names created for the Septuagint which in turn were based on Rabbinic names describing the thematic content of each of the Books.
