The Torah is the sacred text of Jews and Samaritans, although there are lots of small differences between the Jewish and Samaritan one, and one big difference about where the sacrifices are to be done. The Jewish tradition also recognizes the prophetic books (like Isaiah) and the writings (like Ruth) as part of The Bible. The Christians refer to the entire Jewish Bible as the Old Testament.
