The Hebrew Bible is considered a holy text in most Abrahamic religions. It records a large number of events and laws that are endorsed or prescribed by the God of Israel, as well as others carried out by various persons. Judaism teaches that the Torah contains 613 eternal commandments, many of which deal with law and punishment, on the personal and national scales. Christianity has also adapted and adopted many of these directives. In another vein, the text often expressly uses national or personal events as practical lessons to illustrate God's power and as morality tales.
