Moses: The holy book of my faith is the Torah, and contains the Old Testament. The Old Testament is also used in the Christian’s Bible, making the Torah the foundation for the Bible.

The Holy Bible is a book comprised of many parts, chapters, and verses. There are 66 books in the bible; the first 39 books are called the Old Testament. Written in Hebrew, it focuses on the prophecies of the coming savior. The remaining 27 books, the New Testament, are centered on the life of Jesus and his teachings. A similarity in the TaNaKh and the Holy Bible is the presence of the Torah. The Torah, in addition to being the first part of the TaNaKh, is actually the first 5 books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy). Because the Christians, unlike the Jews, had no official language, they wrote and spoke in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, or Latin. These holy books were important to these religions so their beliefs and traditions could be passed down to future generations.

Hebrew and Babylonian are two different versions of hot the earth was created. Even though there are perspective of how the world was created they do have some similarities. The broad point of the two views intertwine with each other because they are more the same than different.

How the Old Testament is known today, it was composed of works from the first-century B.C.E. However, on the other hand the books themselves date back to later dates close to the eleventh centuries or even maybe earlier. [Source]

The important sacred text of Christianity is the Bible. The Bible is primary sacred text of Christianity. The Christian Bible is made of two parts: the Old Testament, which is almost identical to the Jewish Bible; and the New Testament, a collection of Christian writings that includes biographies of Jesus and the apostles, letters to new churches, and an apocalyptic work. The Christian Bible is a collection of writings that Christians believe is of divine and human origin. The Bible is accepted by Christians as trustworthy for belief and practice. As well sometimes referred to as 'Scripture ' and 'Holy Scripture '. Christianity views the Bible as the basic source of belief and practice. The Bible is the central sacred text for

Two cultures, Mesopotamians and Hebrew, despite being separated through time and geography, are very similar. Among these similarities were their flood stories. Both cultures felt they had displeased their God or gods, though either sin or clamor, and in anger these deities decided to flood and kill all of humankind. In both cases, the God or gods took pity on a single family, allowing them to live and prosper. Both Noah and Utnapishtim were instructed to take all animals on the boat. In the case of the Hebrews, there was a specific number of each animal that should be taken on the boat. This number was seven. The Mesopotamians emphasized this same number, but in relation to how long it rained. Obviously the dove is a sacred bird in both cultures

The Tanakh is the collection of the scriptures of Judaism. It is commonly referred to as the Jewish Old Testament or the Jewish Bible, however these names are not the ones used by the Jewish people.

Although it is argued that rabbis began work on compiling the oral histories prior to the fall of the Second Temple, there was a definite resurgence in documentation of the important history and moral laws of Judaism after the fall. The most important of these written documents in the Jewish faith is the Hebrew Bible. This bible is comprised of the Torah, Nevi’im and Ketuvim, these three components combine to make up the Tanakh. The Torah is the core of the Hebrew Bible and contains the story of creation, as well as directions on daily conduct and religious rituals. The Nevi’im contains the stories of prophets. The prophets were people that spoke on behalf of God to the Jewish people. Lastly, the Ketuvim is comprised of mostly imaginative literature such as psalms, proverbs and poetry (Molloy, 294). Shifting the focus from priests and temple to a written work that is accessible to all regardless of location was the main adaptation of Judaism and certainly saved the faith. Although the historical accuracy of the Hebrew Bible is debatable, as some stories may have morphed from their origination to when they were assembled in writing, the bible still remains at the core of Judaism today.

The Sumerian, Egyptian, Hebrew, and Hellenistic religions all have one concept in common. Religion is central to their lives. In Sumerian religion, it was believed humans were created to serve and provide for the gods. The Sumerian people spent their days accommodating the gods because of this belief. . The Jews lived by their God’s commandments in their day-to-day life. The Greek polis was notably tied to their religion. The people’s daily lives depended greatly on following their gods.

     The Jewish Bible or Tanakh, is the sacred book that interprets history as the Jews have experienced it. Although it is proper to think of the Bible as a single book of scriptures, it is more accurate to describe it as a library of books assembled under three major headings. The most important is the Torah, which means “devine instruction and guidance.” Torah is also known as the Five Books of Moses; the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. The second portion is the Nevi’im meaning writings of the Prophets. The third section of Tanakh is referred to as Kethuvim or “the Writings.”

Before the Dead Sea Scrolls discovery, the most ancient whole text was written in Hebrew. It was the Masoretic text from the 10th century. The oldest complete biblical text, on the other hand, was known as the Septuagint also. It was the Greek translation from the 4th century (One for Israel, 2018). The Dead Sea Scrolls revealed manuscripts of many books of the Old Testament that were more ancient than any manuscript ever known. It was written a thousand years earlier before the time of the New Testament (One for Israel, 2018). However, the Dead Sea Scrolls contained parts from each book of the Old Testament, except the Book of Esther. It had many complete copies of the books of Deuteronomy, Isaiah, Psalms, and others (Freund, 2009). The contents
