Is the Hebrew Bible different from the Bible?
The Jewish and Christian Bibles do not contain the same books and they are not arranged in the same order. There is a different "canon," a different listing of the biblical books in the collections that Jews call Tanakh and Christians call the Old Testament.
What is the true Hebrew Bible?
Tanakh. Tanakh is an acronym, made from the first Hebrew letter of each of the Masoretic Text's three traditional divisions: Torah (literally 'Instruction' or 'Law'), Nevi'im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings)—hence TaNaKh.
What is considered the original Hebrew Bible?
