Best Answer

The Jewish Bible is called the Tanach. The word Tanach is an acronym made from the names of its three sections: Torah (Teachings), Nevi'im (Prophets), K'tuvim (Writings).

The Torah is the 5 books of Moses.

The Christian Old Testament is based on the whole of the Tanach but was altered to support the teachings of Christianity.

AnswerThe first five books of the Bible, known to Christians as the Pentateuch, are often referred to by Jews as the Torah. The Hebrew Bible, as a whole, is called the Tanakh.
