The Hebrew Bible is the Tanakh [Tanach].It is divided into three sections: the Torah, the Nevi'im, and the Ketuvim.

The Torah includes the books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Torah means "Teachings"

The Nevi'im consists of Prophets: Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, 12 minor prophets, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zecharaiah, and Malachi. Nevi'im means "Prophets."

The Ketuvim is made up of other books: Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra-Nehemiah, and Chronicles. Ketuvim means "Writings."

The Christian Old Testament was based on the Tanach; however, The OT was altered to support the teachings of Christianity.

What did Christians add to the Torah?

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. To it, they add the Gospels and later writings that they call, collectively, the New Testament.
