Information: - The Old Testament is the first section of the Christian Bible, based primarily upon the Hebrew Bible (or Tanakh), a collection of religious writings by ancient Israelites believed by most Christians and religious Jews to be the sacred Word of God. It is the counterpart to the New Testament, the second portion of the Christian Bible. The Old Testament canon varies between Christian Churches. Protestants have a version with 39 books. Catholics have a version with 46 books, and Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox Churches choose the Old Testament version with 49 books. - The Tanakh ( / tnx / ; Hebrew : '' , pronounced ( tana ) or ( tnax ) ; also Tenakh , Tenak , Tanach ) or Mikra is the canon of the Hebrew Bible . The traditional Hebrew text is known as the Masoretic Text . Tanakh is an acronym of the first Hebrew letter of each of the Masoretic Text 's three traditional subdivisions : Torah ( '' Teaching '' , also known as the Five Books of Moses ) , Nevi'im ( '' Prophets '' ) and Ketuvim ( '' Writings '' ) -- hence TaNaKh . The name '' Mikra '' ( ) , meaning '' that which is read '' , is another Hebrew word for the Tanakh . The books of the Tanakh were passed on by each generation , and according to rabbinic tradition were accompanied by an oral tradition , called the Oral Torah . - Hebrew Bible or Hebrew Scriptures is the term used by biblical scholars to refer to the "Tanakh", the canonical collection of Jewish texts, which is the common textual source of several canonical editions of the Christian Old Testament. They are composed mainly in Biblical Hebrew, with some passages in Biblical Aramaic (in the books of Daniel, Ezra and a few others). - The Masoretic Text (MT, , or formula_1) is the authoritative Hebrew and Aramaic text of the Tanakh for Rabbinic Judaism. However, contemporary scholars seeking to understand the history of the Hebrew Bibles text use a range of other sources. These include Greek and Syriac translations, quotations from rabbinic manuscripts, the Samaritan Pentateuch and others such as the Dead Sea Scrolls. Many of these are older than the Masoretic text and often contradict it. While the Masoretic Text defines the books of the Jewish canon, it also defines the precise letter-text of these biblical books, with their vocalization and accentuation known as the Masorah. - Biblical Aramaic is the form of Aramaic that is used in the books of Daniel, Ezra and a few other places in the Hebrew Bible. It should not be confused with the Aramaic paraphrases, explanations and expansions of the Jewish scriptures, which are known as "targumim". - Rabbinic Judaism or Rabbinism ("Yahadut Rabanit") has been the mainstream form of Judaism since the 6th century CE, after the codification of the Babylonian Talmud. Growing out of Pharisaic Judaism, Rabbinic Judaism is based on the belief that at Mount Sinai, Moses received from God the Written Torah (Pentateuch) in addition to an oral explanation, known as the "Oral Torah," that Moses transmitted to the people. - Biblical Hebrew ("Ivrit Miqra'it" or "Leshon ha-Miqra"), also called Classical Hebrew, is an archaic form of Hebrew, a Canaanite Semitic language spoken by the Israelites in the area known as Israel, roughly west of the Jordan River and east of the Mediterranean Sea. The term "Hebrew" was not used for the language in the Bible, which was referred to as Canaanite or Judahite, but the name was used in Greek and Mishnaic Hebrew texts. Biblical Hebrew is attested from about the 10th centuryBCE, and persisted through and beyond the Second Temple period, which ended in the siege of Jerusalem (AD 70). - The Samaritan Pentateuch, also known as the Samaritan Torah (Hebrew: "torah shomronit"), is a text of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, written in the Samaritan alphabet and used as a scripture by the Samaritans. It constitutes their entire biblical canon. After reading the paragraphs above, choose the best answer for the entity that related to 'tanakh' with the relationship of 'edition or translation of'.
