Torah refers to the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, while Tanach is an acronym that encompasses the Torah, Nevi'im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings) which together make up the Hebrew Bible. Unlike the Torah which is read sequentially, the Haftarah portion from Nevi'im that is read is chosen by Rabbis to relate to that week's Torah reading. While all of the Torah is contained within the Tanach, not all parts of the Tanach are contained within the Torah alone.
This document outlines an interpretive approach for reading the Bible called "Grasping God's Word." It involves 4 steps: 1) Understanding the text in its original context, 2) Identifying differences between then and now, 3) Determining the theological principle, and 4) Applying the principle today. Key points are to carefully observe what's written, avoid rushing to application, and not impose meanings but instead grasp what God communicated. The goal is to hear from God clearly and apply his words accurately.
