The Tanakh is the Jewish law and history, complete with many different commands and prophecies. Somehow Scarlet always thought that it sounded incomplete.

Jesus in the Tanakh May 1, 2009 Professor Name World Religions Introduction The Christ of Christianity made radical claims in regards to his relationship to Judaism. Jesus was no timid Jewish rabbi. He claimed that he was the fulfillment of the entire Jewish Tanakh! Luke quotes the Christ as saying, “all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” (Luke 24:44) Jesus reinterpreted Jewish symbols and re-applied them to himself.
In the Tanakh there are 3 women which are most famous for their stories Ruth, Esther and Deborah. Esther a Jewish woman in Persia won a beauty contest and became the Queen although the Kind has no knowledge that he was an Israelite. She comes to find that Haman the kings prime minister is planning to kill all the Jews as Mordechai would not bow down to him, which puts Esther in an uncomfortable situation.

Margo Sharp ENGL 341 Dr. Melczarek Long Paper 1 May 16, 2018 Women: Trouble in the Tanakh Men and women both show up in the Tanakh for various reasons but a recurring theme is that women cause problems for others.

Women’s actions in the text frequently lead to the murder, humiliation, and other problems
The Book of J and the Hebrew Bible, Tanakh, have glaring differences in diction, style and details presented. The tone in the Book of J is, is somewhat, dramatic while the Tanakh settles for a rather lackluster tone. The choice of words in the Book of J leads its readers to arrive at a different conclusion than they would from a reading of the Tanakh. For instance, the Book J describes that Yahweh reason for wiping out human kinds in the words, “Yahweh looked upon humans, say him growing monstrous”
Comparison of Two Religions: Judaism and Christianity In this essay I will be discussing to what extent Christianity is a completely different religion from Judaism. Both religions may have similarities and differences across a variety of aspects, however this essay will focus on the belief systems of each religion. I will do this by first drawing on the similarities amongst the two religions followed by the differences. Like all Western religions, Judaism and Christianity are religions with monotheistic
pbs.org, Judaism is one of the oldest monotheistic religions and believes that there is only “one God and his prophets, with special respect for Moses as the prophet to whom God gave the law.” The Jewish Tanakh is an acronym of the Torah, Nebi’im, and Ketuvim (religionfact.com/Judaism).

The Old testament consists of five books, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy
Tanakh Versus The Christian’s Old Testament Often times when discussing the Old Testament it is commonly considered as synonymous to the Hebrew Bible, although there are significant difference between the two. Most Protestant versions of the Old Testament have exactly the same books as the Hebrew Bible, though in a slightly different order (Harris, 1980, p. 2). In the Jerusalem Bible, the English edition of the Old Testament, the Apocrypha are integrated with the other books of the Hebrew Bible
Pentateuch are the “five books of Moses”, these are the first five books of the Hebrew bible or Tanakh. These first five books in the bible are considered the most sacred of all scriptures. 1) The documentary hypothesis of the Pentateuch is the belief that the “five books of Moses” are actually written by at least four if not more different sources.
