'''Hebrew Bible''' or '''Hebrew Scriptures''' ({{lang-la|Biblia Hebraica}}) is the term used by [[biblical scholars]] to refer to the ''[[Tanakh]]'' ({{lang-he|תנ"ך}}; {{lang-la|Thanach}}; "[[Tanakh|Jewish Bible]]"), the [[biblical canon|canonical]] collection of Jewish texts. They are composed mainly in [[Biblical Hebrew]], with some passages in [[Biblical Aramaic]] (in the books of [[Book of Daniel|Daniel]], [[Book of Ezra|Ezra]] and a few others).
The Hebrew Bible is the common textual source of several [[Development of the Old Testament canon|canonical editions]] of the [[Christian]] [[Old Testament]]. The content to which the [[Protestantism|Protestant]] [[Old Testament]] closely corresponds does not act as a source for the [[deuterocanonical]] portions of the [[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] or to the ''{{transl|el|[[Anagignoskomena]]}}'' portions of the [[Eastern Orthodox]] Old Testaments. The term does not comment upon the naming, numbering or ordering of books, which varies with later [[Christian biblical canons]].
