Jews
For Jews, the Hebrew Bible is called the Tanakh. For Christians it is the Old Testament.
My opinion, is that during Bible times, Hebrew peoples were considered as, Jews.
For Jews, the next in importance is the Talmud.
They spoke Hebrew!
The Jews call it the Torah.
Jews regard all of the books of the Hebrew Bible as holy. The holiest part of the Bible are the first 5 books, called, "The Torah".
Yep, entire Israel speaks Hebrew,that's more than7 million people.according to wikipedia:Hebrew in its modern form is spoken by more than seven million people in Israel
The real Jews (Hebrew Israelites) that the Bible speaks of are Negroes, Latinos/Hispanics and Native Americans.
Obedience to the hebrew bible's commandment to love your fellow humans as yourself. Yes it is the reason that Jews handle themselves they way they do
It depends on what religion you are. The Jews use the original order of books, and the Christians use an order that was created by the early church, around the 5th Century.
because that's the language it was originally written in. (Only Christians choose to read the Bible in translation. Jews prefer the original Hebrew.)
