What is the Hebrew Bible?

The Hebrew Bible is the collection of sacred writings, written mostly in Hebrew with some Aramaic, that Jewish readers call the Tanakh and Christians call the Old Testament.1 Jewish tradition counts 24 books in three parts: the Torah, the Prophets (Nevi’im) and the Writings (Ketuvim). The Protestant Old Testament divides the very same writings into 39 books.3

Read all 39 books here in Hebrew, with English: the Hebrew words with their sound in English letters and a short English meaning.

The Septuagint word for each wordGenesis 1:1 in the Greek Old Testament

The Septuagint is the Greek translation of these scriptures that the New Testament writers often quoted. Our chapter pages name, for each Hebrew word, the word the Septuagint translators chose.

Famous passages in Hebrew

Passages many readers know by heart. The English is the World English Bible, which writes the divine name as “Yahweh”; most English Bibles write “the LORD”.

Numbers 6:24–26

The priestly blessing

יְבָֽרֶכְךָ֥ יְהוָ֖ה וְיִשְׁמְרֶֽךָ׃

יָאֵ֨ר יְהוָ֧ה׀ פָּנָ֛יו אֵלֶ֖יךָ וִֽיחֻנֶּֽךָּ׃

יִשָּׂ֨א יְהוָ֤ה׀ פָּנָיו֙ אֵלֶ֔יךָ וְיָשֵׂ֥ם לְךָ֖ שָׁלֽוֹם׃

“Yahweh bless you, and keep you. Yahweh make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you. Yahweh lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.”

In English letters yĕbārekkā yĕhwâ wĕyišmĕrekā · yāʾēr yĕhwâ pānāyw ʾēlêkā wîḥunnekkā · yiśśāʾ yĕhwâ pānāyw ʾēlêkā wĕyāśēm lĕkā šālôm

Isaiah 7:14

“The virgin will conceive”

לָ֠כֵן יִתֵּ֨ן אֲדֹנָ֥י ה֛וּא לָכֶ֖ם א֑וֹת הִנֵּ֣ה הָעַלְמָ֗ה הָרָה֙ וְיֹלֶ֣דֶת בֵּ֔ן וְקָרָ֥את שְׁמ֖וֹ עִמָּ֥נוּ אֵֽל׃

“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”

Key words almah, H5959 parthenos, G3933

Where the Hebrew has almah, the Septuagint has parthenos. Christians read this verse as pointing to Christ (see Matthew 1:23); Jewish readers read it differently.

Questions people ask about the Hebrew Bible

Each answer starts with a short answer, then more detail, then where to go deeper on this site.

Is the Hebrew Bible the same as the Old Testament?

Yes in content, no in name, count and order. The Protestant Old Testament has the same writings as the Hebrew Bible, but counts them as 39 books instead of 24 and puts them in a different order: the Jewish order ends with Chronicles, the Christian Old Testament ends with Malachi. Catholic and Orthodox Old Testaments add books that came to the Church through the Greek Septuagint.

See the three names

Hebrew Bible

The neutral name used by scholars and on this page. It names the language of the text without taking a side between Jewish and Christian use.2

Tanakh

The Jewish name, made from the first letters of the three parts: Torah, Nevi’im and Ketuvim. Jewish readers also call it the Mikra, “what is read”.

Old Testament

The Christian name, used alongside the New Testament. Protestant Bibles contain the same writings as the Tanakh.

What is the Tanakh?

Tanakh is the Jewish name for the Hebrew Bible. It is made from the first letters of its three parts: T for Torah (Instruction, 5 books), N for Nevi’im (Prophets, 8 books) and K for Ketuvim (Writings, 11 books). Together they make 24 books.

How many books are in the Hebrew Bible, and why 24, not 39?

The Hebrew Bible has 24 books. Christians count the same writings as 39 because five Hebrew books are split: Samuel, Kings and Chronicles each become two books, Ezra–Nehemiah becomes two, and the Twelve (the Minor Prophets) become twelve. Nothing is missing; only the counting differs.3

What language is the Hebrew Bible written in?

Mostly Biblical Hebrew. A few parts are in Biblical Aramaic, a sister language: Daniel 2:4b to 7:28, Ezra 4:8 to 6:18 and 7:12–26, and one verse, Jeremiah 10:11.4

Coming soon: Aramaic in the Bible

See where the Aramaic is

Hebrew and Aramaic use the same 22-letter alphabet, so the Aramaic parts look like Hebrew on the page.

How do you read Hebrew?

From right to left. The Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters, and all of them are consonants. The vowels are small dots and dashes written under, over or inside the letters (vowel points, or nikkud). Hebrew Bibles also carry accent marks that show stress and how the verse is chanted.5

בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃

The dots and dashes above and below the letters are the vowels and accents.

What is the Masoretic Text?

The Masoretic Text is the standard Hebrew text of the Bible. It was copied and guarded by Jewish scribes called the Masoretes, chiefly in Tiberias (best known is the Ben Asher family), who between about the 7th and 10th centuries AD added the vowel points, accent marks and notes in the margins. Almost every English Old Testament is translated from it.5

Credit where it is due

Christians who read the Old Testament today owe the text they translate to the care of these Jewish scribes. They counted letters and words so the text would be copied exactly.

What is the oldest Hebrew Bible?

The oldest pieces are among the Dead Sea Scrolls, found near Qumran; the earliest biblical fragments date to about the 3rd century BC. The oldest complete Hebrew Bible with a written date is the Leningrad Codex, AD 1008–1009. The Aleppo Codex (about AD 930) is older, but about 40% of it has been lost since 1947.8

How is the Hebrew Bible different from the Septuagint?

The Septuagint is the old Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures, begun by Jewish translators in Egypt in the 3rd century BC. It mostly follows the Hebrew closely, but in places it reads differently, it adds books found in Catholic and Orthodox Bibles, and it joins and divides some psalms differently, so most psalm numbers run one lower.10

What did the early Christians write about the Hebrew Bible?

A great deal. The Christians of the first centuries wrote about Genesis, the Psalms, Isaiah and many other Old Testament chapters. We have gathered what they said on 74 Old Testament passages from 20 books, plus 12 answers on the Old Testament’s text, canon and language. Our Hebrew chapter pages, such as Genesis 1 and Psalm 23, also show what the Early Church wrote about that chapter.

Quick questions

Why is the Hebrew Bible in a different order?

The Hebrew Bible runs Torah, then Prophets, then Writings, and ends with Chronicles. The Christian Old Testament groups the books as law, history, poetry and prophets, and ends with Malachi, just before the Gospels.

Are the Dead Sea Scrolls the same as the Bible we read?

Very close, though not identical. The scrolls found near Qumran include the oldest known copies of biblical books, some from about the 3rd century BC. The Great Isaiah Scroll is very close to the later Hebrew text of Isaiah, and some scroll readings agree with the Septuagint.

What is a Strong’s number?

A reference number for each original word of the Bible, from James Strong’s concordance (1890). Hebrew words run from H1 to H8674. On this site each number has its own page, for example shalom, H7965.9

Does the Hebrew Bible include the Apocrypha or the New Testament?

No. Books such as Tobit, Judith, Wisdom and the Maccabees came to Christians through the Greek Septuagint; they are in Catholic and Orthodox Old Testaments, not in the Hebrew Bible. The New Testament was written later, in Greek.

Why is Psalm 23 called Psalm 22 in the Greek Bible?

The Septuagint joins and divides some psalms differently, so most psalm numbers run one lower. Hebrew Psalm 23 is Psalm 22 in the Septuagint.

Can I hear Hebrew words spoken?

Yes, one word at a time. 8,673 Hebrew words have a spoken pronunciation on their own page; the voice is computer-made. The chapter audio on this site is in English (Berean Standard Bible, read by Bob Souer).
