The Ancient Shape of the Scriptures

Jesus’ Bible was a three-part collection of scrolls called the TaNaK. TaNaK is a designation for the Hebrew Bible taken from the first letter of its three major sections. T stands for Torah, which is Hebrewfor "instruction;" N is for Nevi'im, meaning "prophets;" and K is for Ketuvim, meaning "writings." The three-part macro design dates to somewhere in the 3rd-2nd century B.C.E. This order is preserved in modern Jewish tradition and is well-attested in Second Temple Jewish texts and the New Testament.
