what is the jewish bible called

The Jewish Bible is also known as the Hebrew Bible or Tanakh. It is the canonical collection of Hebrew scriptures, including the Torah (the first five books of Moses), the Neviim (the Prophets), and the Ketuvim (the Writings) . The term "Tanakh" is an acronym for the first letters of these three parts in the Jewish tradition. The Jewish Bible is divided into 24 books, which are divided into chapters and verses. Different branches of Judaism and Samaritanism have maintained different versions of the canon, including the 3rd-century Septuagint text used in Second Temple Judaism, the Syriac Peshitta, the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and most recently the 10th-century medieval Masoretic Text compiled by the Masoretes, currently used in Rabbinic Judaism.
