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 English names of five books of the Torah (which Christians are familiar with) are: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
The Christian Old Testament was based on the Tanach, however, it was altered to support the teachings of Christianity.
