The Tanakh (/tɑːˈnɑːx/;Hebrew: תַּנַ"ךְ, pronounced [taˈnaχ] or [təˈnax]; also Tenakh, Tenak, Tanach) or Mikra is the canon of the Hebrew Bible. The traditional Hebrew text is known as the Masoretic Text.
Tanakh is an acronym of the first Hebrew letter of each of the Masoretic Text's three traditional subdivisions: Torah ("Teaching", also known as the Five Books of Moses), Nevi'im ("Prophets") and Ketuvim ("Writings")—hence TaNaKh. The name "Mikra" (מקרא), meaning "that which is read", is another Hebrew word for the Tanakh. The books of the Tanakh were passed on by each generation, and according to rabbinic tradition were accompanied by an oral tradition, called the Oral Torah.
The three-part division reflected in the acronym "Tanakh" is well attested in literature of the Rabbinic period. During that period, however, "Tanakh" was not used. Instead, the proper title was Mikra (or Miqra, מקרא, meaning "reading" or "that which is read") because the biblical texts were read publicly. Mikra continues to be used in Hebrew to this day, alongside Tanakh, to refer to the Hebrew scriptures. In modern spoken Hebrew, they are interchangeable.
The Old Testament is the first section of the Christian Bible, based primarily upon the Hebrew Bible, a collection of religious writings by ancient Israelites. It is the counterpart to the New Testament, the second portion of the Christian Bible. The Old Testament canon varies between Christian Churches; Protestants and Latter-Day Saints accept only the books found in the canon of the Hebrew Bible, dividing them into 39 books, while the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox Churches accept somewhat larger collections of writings.
The Old Testament consists of many distinct books written, compiled, and edited by various authors over a period of centuries. It is not entirely clear at what point the parameters of the Hebrew Bible, the basis for the Christian Old Testament, were fixed. Some scholars have opined that the canon of the Hebrew Bible was established already by about the 3rd century BC, or even later.
The books of the Old Testament can be broadly divided into several sections: 1) the first five books or Pentateuch (Torah); 2) the history books telling the history of the Israelites, from their conquest of Canaan to their defeat and exile in Babylon; 3) the poetic and "Wisdom" books dealing, in various forms, with questions of good and evil in the world; 4) and the books of the biblical prophets, warning of the consequences of turning away from God.
"The Forbidden Chapter" in the Tanakh Did you know that there's a "forbidden chapter" in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible)? What's been hidden from us all these years? It's changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Jewish people! Watch till the end for a surprising twist!
The Tanakh is made up of the Torah, Nevi'im, and Ketuv'im. The Tanakh is the basis of understanding the laws, philosophy, and history of Judaism. As such, studying the Tanakh is the first step to understanding the whole of Judaism.
The Tanakh and the Old Testament have many similarities but they are not the same scripture. The number and arrangement of books and the inclusion of some apocryphal books is the major difference between the Jewish Tanakh and the Christian Old Testament. If you are interested in learning about the Hebrew text it is important to use a good Tanakh and not use a Christian Old Testament. If you are truly interested in learning from the Tanakh I would recommend learning Biblical Hebrew and not always relying on a translation. Sources: Tzvee Zahavy. “Gittin.” halakhah.com.

What's the Jewish Bible called? It's the Tanakh. What is a Tanakh? TaNaKh is a Hebrew acronym for the words Torah (the Five Books of Moses or Pentateuch), Nevi'im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings, which include all the books of the Jewish Bible not found in Torah or Nevi'im). This is the Jewish people's holy scripture on which commentaries and legal texts like the Mishnah and the Talmud are based. Some people may think of this as the Old Testament, but the terms are not interchangeable because the Christian Old Testament and the Tanakh don't contain all the same books.

The following vide does not contain profanity. However, it does discuss the use of harsh language in the Tanakh. I made this video because I have noticed that some believe Hebrew has no "bad" words, and attribute incorrect ideas into the Tanakh. I hope this video does not spark a controversial debate.
this bible has English on the left, and Yiddish aka modern Hebrew on the right haha, u can read the old testament in Hebrew, and see whut was there, b4 there they translated it, and learn to translate it yourself, and see if they translated it right.
