The Books of The Old Testament: The Hebrew Bible
Aryeh Ronay – The Old Testament gets its name from its relationship to “The New Testament”, but for Jews, it’s called “The Hebrew Bible”, “The Bible” or in Hebrew, “The Tanakh.” The name “TaNaKh” is an abbreviation for “Torah”, “Nevi’im” and “Ketuvim.” The Hebrew Bible is a collection of works stretching all the way back from Creation until the return of the Jewish people to Israel, after the Babylonian exile.
