The Ketuvim (/kətuːˈviːm, kəˈtuːvɪm/;^[1] Biblical Hebrew: כְּתוּבִים‎, Modern: Ktuvim, Tiberian: Kăṯūḇīm "writings")^[2] is the third and final section of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), after Torah ("instruction") and Nevi'im ("prophets"). In English translations of the Hebrew Bible, this section is usually titled "Writings" or "Hagiographa".^[3]

In the Ketuvim, 1–2 Chronicles form one book as do Ezra and Nehemiah which form a single unit entitled Ezra–Nehemiah.^[4] (In citations by chapter and verse, however, the Hebrew equivalents of "Nehemiah", "I Chronicles" and "II Chronicles" are used, as the system of chapter division was imported from Christian usage.) Collectively, eleven books are included in the Ketuvim.

Groups of books

Sifrei Emet

In Masoretic manuscripts (and some printed editions), Psalms, Proverbs and Job are presented in a special two-column form emphasizing the parallel stichs in the verses, which are a function of their poetry. Collectively, these three books are known as Sifrei Emet (Biblical Hebrew: סִפְרֵי אֶמֶת sip̄rēi ʾemeṯ "documents of truth" – an acronym of the titles of the three books in Hebrew, איוב, משלי, תהלים yields אמ״ת emet, "truth").

These three books are also the only ones in the Hebrew Bible with a special system of cantillation that is designed to emphasize parallel stichs within verses. However, the beginning and end of the book of Job are in the normal prose system.

Five Megillot

The five relatively short books of Song of Songs, Book of Ruth, the Book of Lamentations, Ecclesiastes and Book of Esther are collectively known as the Five Megillot (Hamesh Megillot/ Five Scrolls). These are the latest books collected and designated as "authoritative" in the Jewish canon.^[5] These scrolls are traditionally read over the course of the year in many Jewish communities. The list below presents them in the order they are read in the synagogue on holidays, beginning with the Song of Songs on Passover.

Other books

The remaining books in the Ketuvim are the Book of Daniel, Ezra–Nehemiah and the Books of Chronicles. These books share a number of distinguishing characteristics:^{[citation needed]}

• The Talmudic tradition ascribes late authorship to all of them.
• Daniel and Ezra are the only books in the Hebrew Bible with significant portions in Biblical Aramaic.
• These two also describe relatively late events (i.e., the Babylonian captivity and the subsequent restoration of Zion).

The following list presents the books of the Ketuvim in the order they appear in most printed editions. It also divides them into three subgroups based on the distinctiveness of Sifrei Emet and Hamesh Megillot.

The Sifrei Emet:

• Tehillim (Psalms) תְהִלִּים
• Mishlei (Book of Proverbs) מִשְלֵי
• Iyyôbh (Book of Job) אִיּוֹב

The Five Megillot

• Shīr Hashīrīm (Song of Songs) שִׁיר הַשִׁירִים (Passover)
• Rūth (Book of Ruth) רוּת (Feast of Weeks)
• Eikhah (Lamentations) איכה (Ninth of Av or the Day of Atonement)
• Qōheleth (Ecclesiastes) קהלת (Feast of Tabernacles)
• Estēr (Book of Esther) אֶסְתֵר (Feast of Lots)

Other books

• Dānî’ēl (Book of Daniel) דָּנִיֵּאל
• ‘Ezrā (Book of Ezra–Book of Nehemiah) עזרא
• Divrei ha-Yamim (Chronicles) דברי הימים

The Jewish textual tradition never finalized the order of the books in the Ketuvim. The Babylonian Talmud (Bava Batra 14b–15a) gives their order as Ruth, Psalms, Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Lamentations, Daniel, Esther, Ezra, and Chronicles.^[6]

In Tiberian Masoretic codices, including the Aleppo Codex and the Leningrad Codex, and often in old Spanish manuscripts as well, the order is Chronicles, Psalms, Job, Proverbs, Ruth, Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes, Lamentations, Esther, Daniel, and Ezra.^[6]

Canonization

The Ketuvim is the last of the three portions of the Tanakh to have been accepted as Biblical canon. There is no scholarly consensus as to when the Hebrew Bible canon was fixed: some scholars argue that it was fixed by the Hasmonean dynasty,^[7] while others argue it was not fixed until the second century CE or even later.^[8]

While the Torah may have been considered canon by Israel as early as the 5th century BCE and the Former and Latter Prophets were canonized by the 2nd century BCE, Michael Coogan says that the Ketuvim was not a fixed canon until the 2nd century CE.^[5] According to T. Henshaw, as early as 132 BCE some references suggesting that the Ketuvim was starting to take shape, though it lacked a formal title.^[9] Jacob Neusner argues that the notion of a biblical canon was not prominent in 2nd-century Rabbinic Judaism or even later.^[8]

Against Apion, the writing of Josephus in 95 CE, treated the text of the Hebrew Bible as a closed canon to which "no one has ventured either to add, or to remove, or to alter a syllable";^[10] Michael Barber, however, avers that Josephus' canon is "not identical to that of the modern Hebrew Bible".^[11] For a long time, following this date, the divine inspiration of Esther, the Song of Songs, and Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) was often under scrutiny.^[12]

In the 20th century, many scholars seemed to believe that the limits of the Ketuvim as canonized scripture were determined by the Council of Jamnia (c. 90 CE). But the theory of the Council of Jamnia is largely discredited today.^{[13][14][15][16]}

Liturgical use

There is no formal system of synagogal reading of Ketuvim equivalent to the Torah portion and haftarah. It is thought that there was once a cycle for reading the Psalms, parallel to the triennial cycle for Torah reading, as the number of psalms (150) is similar to the number of Torah portions in that cycle, and remnants of this tradition exist in Italy. All Jewish liturgies contain copious extracts from the Psalms, but these are normally sung to a regular recitative or rhythmic tune rather than read or chanted. Some communities also have a custom of reading Proverbs in the weeks following Pesach, and Job on the Ninth of Ab. Zdroj:https://en.wikipedia.org?pojem=Ketuvim
