RE: Jewish Torah translation of old testament
Shalom @yesiknow,
I'm a teacher of Jewish Studies. No 'Torah' is the name for the first five books of the Bible.
Bereshiet (Genesis)
Shemot (Exodus)
Bemidbar (Numbers)
Vayikra (Leviticus)
Devarim (Deuteronomy)
The writings we call the Ketuvim and the prophetic books the Neviim, derived from Navi which means 'prophet'.
What Christians call the Old Testament, we call the Tanakh which is an acronym for Torah, Neviim and Ketuvim.
Some other Hebrew names for Bible books are:
Yehoshua (Josua)
Tehilim (Psalms)
Mishlei (Proverbs)
Kohelet (Eclesiastes)
Iyov (Job)
Zecharyah (Zechariah)
Michah (Micha)
Yeshayahu (Isaiah)
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah)
Yechezkel (Ezekiel)
Shemuel Alef (1 Samuel)
Shemuel Bet (2 Samuel)
Chaggai (Haggai)
Nechemyah (Nehemiah)
Melachim Alef (1 Kings)
Melachim Bet (2 Kings)
Divrey Hayamim Alef (1 Chronicles)
Divrey Hayamim Bet (2 Chronicles)
Shoftim (Judges)

Thank you very much for your information-packed response.
That is exactly the sort of help I was asking for. I have a friend who is jewish, but he has forgotten much.
People like you, who are knowledgeable and so nice to help deserve an up vote, so I upvoted your reply.

@food-for-thought,

I just want to learn for free and without a tuition!
