The Heptateuch (seven containers) is a name sometimes given to the first seven books of the
Pentateuch, the first six as the Hexateuch. With the addition of the Book of Ruth, these eight books are known as the Octateuch. The "Enneateuch" is the Heptateuch plus the Books of Samuel and the Books of Kings
(each pair of books counted as one, and not including the Book of Ruth).
