How to extend a table to more than one page

Hello everyone, I am trying to place a table inside one of the pages of a book I am working on, but I encountered a problem, which is that the first column of the table contains long text that extends to the next page. This led to the first row of the table being separated from the rest of the rows and becoming alone on the page, which remained. The rest of it was empty and could not be written in. The rest of the rows appeared on the next page. The table stopped on this page and did not extend to the next page even though the text had not finished. What should I do with this mess?
