This is a follow up to my introduction to the Hebrew Bible 101. I want to list every book in the Bible, the 39. The Old Testament, we do not call The Old Testament. Jews called the Hebrew Bible the Tanakh. The Tanakh are three letters, Tofs stand for Torah, Noune for Novihing Prophets and Khaf for Katovin writings.
The Torah is five Books. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy. Then Hebrew that is תישארב רפס, (ך"נתב) תומש רפס, "ארקיו" רפס, עטק; רפסמ - רפסמל; רופסל, (שמוחב רפס) םירבד. And then the books of the Prophets there are six more Historical Books Joshua, Judges, Samuel 1 and 2, and Kings 1 and 2.
And then, there are 15 Prophets divided between the first three Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. And then a 12 smaller once who are Hosea, Joel, Amus, Obediah or Ovadia, Jonah that we ready a young Kippur afternoon, Micah or ספר מיכה Hebrew, Nakum, Habakuk, Zefaniah, Hagai, Zakariah, and Malacai.
Now, the books of the writings are to Helem Psalms, Mishley his Proverbs. Iyo this Job, םירישה ריש is the Song of Songs or the Songs of Solomon. Root is Ruth; Ekka is Lamentations or Kohelek a Ruth we read on holy Shabarut.
Song of Songs and Passover Ekka and Lamentation on Tishabahab, Kohelek Ecclesiastes we read on Sukkot, Ester we read on Purim. Daniel, we do not liturgy claim the Synagogue, Ezra, Nehemiah, ךוליה (ך"נתב רפס) םימיה ירבד is 1st Chronicles, רחא (ך"נתב רפס) םימיה ירבד is 2nd Chronicles.
The English name usually refers to even the author of the book and the first major word of the book. Hebrew is more about what the books about.
Also here the word Homish which is the Torah because it means amazed the 5. And, the Tanakh, now you already know.
So, those are the books of the Hebrew Bible.
