The Torah is part of the Tanakh (Jewish Bible). The Torah is the Five Books of Moses, while the rest of the Tanakh contains prophetic books such as Joshua, Isaiah, Job, and more.
The canon of the Tanakh was sealed by a Sanhedrin called the Men of the Great Assembly, which included the last of the Jewish prophets, some 24 centuries ago.
The Christian Bible contains the Tanakh (in translation) plus additional books. This includes the New Testament (the Gospels, Acts, and Epistles) and could also include some of the Deuterocanonical books (like Tobit, Esdras, Baruch, Sirach, etc.).

∙ 6y agoThe Torah is the 5 books of Moses in the original language (Hebrew). The first 5 books of the KJV Bible were based on the Torah with modifications to support the teachings of Christianity.
Any translation, whether done by Jews or Gentiles, is, at best, no more than an indication of what the Torah is saying. The translations leave out all or most of the Torah's accompanying oral tradition, its traditional musical chant (cantillation, which provides punctuation and emotion), and the fact that many verses teach us a number of things.
