The Hebrew Bible is a holy book.
A quick look at its contents implies that they constitute the O.T. and are the same thing.
The books of the Jewish Bible are:
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, the Twelve Minor Prophets (Hosea, Joel, etc.), Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra & Nehemiah, and Chronicles.
However, there are some important differences.
One difference is that the Jewish Bible (the Tanakh) is only in the original Hebrew. Any translation, whether done by Jews or Gentiles, is at best no more than an indication of what the Tanakh is saying. The verses of the Tanakh have an accompanying oral tradition, they have a traditional musical chant (cantillation, which provides punctuation and emotion), and many verses teach us a number of things.
Another difference is that the Christian Old Testament may contain a few books that are not in the Tanakh (such as the books of Judith and Sirach [and others] which are in the Catholic O.T.).
