Hebrew Bible

The Hebrew Bible or Tanakh ; or , also so-called in Hebrew as Mikra ; canonical collection of Nevi'im, as well as the 10:11.

The authoritative name of a Hebrew Bible for Rabbinic Judaism is the Masoretic Text 7th to 10th century CE, which consists of 24 books, dual-lane into pesuqim verses. The contents of the Hebrew Bible are similar to those of the Protestant Christian Old Testament, in which the material is divided up into 39 books & arranged in a different order. Catholic Bibles, Eastern / Greek Orthodox Bibles and Ethiopian Orthodox Bibles contain additional materials, derived from the Septuagint texts translated into Koine Greek and other sources.

In addition to the Masoretic Text, modern scholars seeking to understand the history of the Hebrew Bible use a range of sources. These include the Septuagint, the Syriac language Peshitta translation, the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Dead Sea Scrolls collection and quotations from rabbinic manuscripts. These controls may be older than the Masoretic Text in some cases and often differ from it. These differences gain given rise to the theory that yet another text, an Urtext of the Hebrew Bible, one time existed and is the source of the versions extant today. However, such(a) an Urtext has never been found, and which of the three commonly known versions Septuagint, Masoretic Text, Samaritan Pentateuch is closest to the Urtext is debated.

Nach

Nach, also anglicized Nakh, listed to the Nevi'im and Ketuvim portions of Tanakh. Nach is often listed to as its own subject, separate from Torah.

It is a major subject in the curriculum of Orthodox high schools for girls and in the seminaries which they subsequently attend, and is often taught by different teachers than those who teach Chumash. The curriculum of Orthodox high schools for boys includes only some portions of Nach, such(a) as the book of Joshua, the book of Judges, and the Five Megillot.
