The Old Testament! The Hebrew Bible or Tanach, is a Christian's Old Testament. Their's is in a little different order than your traditional Christian bible having Torah first (same first 5 books yours has) then the prophets, then the writings. Do note that the use of "testament" regarding both the Old and New is better translated as covenant seeing God is not recorded as writing wills, he is rcorded as making and keeping covenants.
CorrectionThe Jewish Bible is called the Tanach and is made up of the Torah (Teachings), Nevi'im (Prophets), and K'tuvim (Writings). The Christian Old Testament is based on the Tanach but was greatly altered to support the teachings of Christianity.
