why does wikipedia call the torah the “hebrew bible”?
no…we call it the torah. we named it. we named the torah, and called it the torah. it is. the torah
power move. hot take. this is a power take
i thought the torah and the hebrew bible were different things?
So technically the Torah is just the Mosaic histories (Genesis->Deuteronomy), whereas the canon of “the Hebrew bible” is properly teachings (Torah) + prophets (Nevi'im) + writings (Ketuvim), known in sum as the Tanakh (TNK)
The Christian bible mimicks this composition with the gospels + church fathers + epistles & allegory, so TECHNICALLY the super polished version of this joke is “but is the bible the Christian Tanakh?” but like “Torah” has way better name recognition and often gets used as synecdoche anyway
There’s another level which is “Jews organize the Tanakh differently from how Christians organize the ~Old Testament~” but I’m already melting inside so I don’t feel like thinking about that
I haven’t plugged wait this is the title hold on a second
I haven’t plugged this in a while bc I forgot that Tumblr existed BUT if u wanna keep up with me on a regular basis, I run most of my social media out of my locked Twitter account, @ spacetrucksix, and you can yell at me on my open account, @ palmliker. I miss a lot of you frickers.
